No One Can Harm Government Formed by Public Mandate

Rohtak: Nitin Nabin, National President of the BJP, addressed a gathering after joining the 'Loktantra Bachao Arajakta Hatao' padyatra in Rohtak on Sunday. He used the occasion to criticise the Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi.

Describing the padyatra, Nabin said every step taken by participants was aimed at strengthening the country's democracy. He said the march was being held to honour the public mandate in a time when democratic values needed defending.

He said some people wondered why a campaign to save democracy was needed when the NDA holds power in Delhi and in most states. According to Nabin, when the opposition shows contempt for the mandate, NDA workers respond by standing with citizens on the streets.

Nabin then spoke about the anti-Sikh violence of November 1, 1984. He said the Congress should have atoned for the killings and sought an apology, yet the party had instead come out to hold a rally.

He asked Rahul Gandhi to recall his father's statement that the earth trembles when a big tree falls. Nabin said the Congress leader should feel remorse for the many Sikh lives lost and should have apologised.

Nabin also argued that the Congress had damaged the Constitution. He referred to the Allahabad High Court decision that set aside Indira Gandhi's election for misuse of government machinery and barred her from contesting for six years.

He asked who had won elections through misuse of government machinery and described it as the Congress's legacy. He added that the party was involved in vote theft and disrespected the people's verdict.

Nabin claimed that Rahul Gandhi did not trust the 140 crore people of India but trusted 3 crore infiltrators. He asked what Gandhi's real motive was and noted that every time the public had voted, Gandhi had lost.

He further alleged that Gandhi was acting as a toolkit of foreign powers and wanted to challenge India's democracy on their signal. Nabin said the people understood who these actors were and recalled that such forces had created unrest abroad.

Nabin said Congress leaders claimed they would change the government. He responded that the government was built on public mandate and no one could harm it, adding that anarchist ideas must receive a strong answer.

In closing, he said that during the father's time Sikhs were massacred on the streets, and now the son was openly insulting that pain by staging a rally. He said the people were watching and would seek accountability.
