New Delhi: The Vice-President, Jagdeep Dhankhar today said that, “The latest that has come as a shocking expose is the President of the United States.I am sure you all are aware of what he said that fiscal muscle was used. Funds were pumped in to doctor and manipulate our democratic result. He has gone to the extent of saying I must give my thought on it, that someone else was sought to be elected. To elect is the right only of Indian people. Anyone doctoring or manipulating that process is undermining our democratic values, is subverting our democracy in the process, bringing us under servitude, subservience.”
Addressing the valedictory ceremony of the 5th RS Internship Program at Vice-President’s enclave today, he stated, “ I, therefore, from this platform call upon everyone. Time has come to thoroughly get into this malaise, this political COVID infiltrated in our society to destroy our democracy. All those involved in this sinister activity, who benefited out of this structured pernicious strategy must be shamed and brought to book, fully exposed.”
Urging the participants to be aware against any attempt to tarnish our constitutional institutions, Dhankhar stated, “Our institutions are facing structured taint, a facet of wokeism. Our Constitutional functionaries are sought to be ridiculed…. Be it to institution of the President, of the Vice-President, or the Prime Minister. These are not political posts, these are our institutions. People fail to show even minimum respect.”
“My heart bleeds when the president of the country, the first ever tribal woman to hold that high office is shamed, ridiculed, even when she performs her Constitutional duty in the joint session of parliament. Her tribal status becomes a cause of concern when the taint is put in public domain. A lady of sterling worth, track record of dedicated service, as a legislator, as a minister, as a governor and now president of India. A Prime Minister after six decades for the first time, after six decades, continue in office for the third term. Anything and everything can be said, we must not bear with it. I wouldn’t come to my position but there are some unforgettable moments of pain when in the sacred premises of parliament, a mimicry is videographed by a person who holds responsible political position. Sometimes we can overlook but we can never forget, we forgive for a simple reason, that’s our culture”, he added.
Expressing his concern over illegal immigration he said, “The country…is facing a great challenge because we have in millions illegal migrants amongst us. They are making demand on our workforce….depriving our people of work education facilities, health facilities, government facilities, like Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana. This infiltration is no less than invasion…The entire world at the moment has become serious about it. We woke up, when under the law of some country, some of our own people who were misguided, who were cheated, who were lured into going abroad through the wrong means, come back here but we don’t look at the ground under our feet. We are on quicksand. This bomb is ticking for you. I am talking on mindset so generate a mindset. Why should they be here?”
“Europe is witnessing situations. Some countries are witnessing situations. We look calm but this calm is before a storm. Let us contain that storm. Let us puncture the balloon of a storm, and that can be done only when people change their mindset, share their concern with everyone, generate an opinion, and put their foot down”, he added.
“It is the bounden duty of every Indian to have a point of view, to express that point of view, to have a dialogue about it and call upon the authorities concerned to generate a pressure…..Whenever there is a talk, something which is in the Constitution, politics enters; Uniform Civil Code is a Constitutional ordainment. Founding Fathers of the constitution had put it under Article 44 of the Directive Principles. What’s wrong with that? Therefore, let me tell you. I do not know what is the severity of the earthquake that may befall us, but tremors are being already felt. In the country there is emergence of specified areas where elections have ceased to have any meaning at the moment. We cannot afford this kind of challenge to our civilisation”, he further stated.
Highlighting attack by invaders on nation’s civilization, he underlined, “Our civilization was bled 1200 years ago. Nalanda was blossoming, prospering, a center of knowledge and wisdom. Convergence of scholars from all over the world came….Marauders came, invaders came recklessly with extreme brutality, barbarity made an effort to destroy our culture, our civilization, our religious places. And so was the perversion; destroy our religious places and have their own. Patience and tolerance are virtues, but not at the cost of Nationalism.”
