Countering the opposition for its criticism of the government for the arrest of climate activist Disha Ravi, the BJP said on Monday that these parties, especially Congress, have always supported “anti-India” forces in their attempt to attack the first. Minister Narendra. Modi.
Union Minister and BJP leader Gajendra Singh Shekhawat tweeted: “If age is the criterion, then Param Veer Chakra 2nd Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, martyred at 21, is the one I am proud of. Not some tool propagandists. “
In several tweets, BJP General Secretary BL Santosh stated: ““ Bengaluru, Greta Thunberg, vegan, sole bread winner, student, 21 years old, passionate activist. So many attempts to whitewash a sin! No anarchist willing to answer the question. How did a 21 year old student get access to edit the toolkit? 21 years old, environmental activist, student … Are these credentials to be part of breaking the forces of India? How do you get access to edit the toolkit? Why are you part of anti-national WhatsApp groups? Many questions but only one answer: 21 years ”.
In response to harsh criticism from opposition parties, BJP spokesman Sambit Patra said that the Delhi police have “exposed the nefarious conspiracies of India’s breaking forces to degrade the integrity of India.” He accused Congress of supporting anti-India forces. He tweeted: “Surprisingly to the opposition, Bharat Ratnas like Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar can be investigated, but the ‘forces that break India’ should be protected under the garb of ‘freedom of expression’. These parties shouted “arrest the perpetrators” on January 26, but today, when they are arrested, does Congress itself cry badly? ”.
BJP spokesman Gaurav Bhatia said: “A criminal is a criminal, gender and age are irrelevant if not a minor. Just for your information, Kasab was 21 when he attacked Mumbai. “
The head of the BJP IT cell, Amit Malviya, said: “The left has been using impressionable young minds as cannon fodder for its unhinged politics for a long time. From JNU to Jamia, from AMU to Nadwa and now Disha Ravi, they are all part of his sinister plan … Unfortunately, they are abandoned shortly after having served their purpose. “
