Arvind Kejriwal, who recently obtained bail from jail, took a bold stance by posing five direct questions to Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat. This move came right after Kejriwal’s resignation from the post of Chief Minister. The ‘Janata Ki Adalat’ program, held at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, served as the platform for this interrogation.
During the event, Kejriwal put the spotlight on the BJP, questioning whether the party’s policies had the stamp of approval from the RSS. Specifically, he probed if the RSS supported actions like undermining central agencies, destabilizing opposition governments, and welcoming corrupt leaders to sow discord within the party.
In response to Kejriwal’s inquiries, Coal and Mines Minister G. Kishan Reddy stepped forward. He highlighted what he perceived as anti-India sentiments within the Congress party, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking from the BJP office in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, Reddy pointed to instances such as Rahul Gandhi’s recent visit to America as evidence of this alleged anti-India stance. He also drew attention to the Congress-led alliance’s pledge to reinstate Article 370 in their manifesto.
The debate extended to crucial issues like fair compensation for farmers and the right to education. Kejriwal questioned whether these rights would be compromised in light of recent land acquisition activities. Criticizing those who had faced legal troubles, he emphasized the potential rollback of 890 Union Acts in Jammu and Kashmir and its implications on laws safeguarding children’s education and farmers’ compensation.
In a final admonition, Reddy warned that the Congress party and its coalition partner, the National Conference, might face repercussions for what he labeled an anti-India stance. He suggested that voters would deliver a stern lesson for such attitudes.
