  • Always been Congress’ position to respect electors irrespective of location: Sibal on Rahul’s ‘North-South’ remarks

    By PTI
    NEW DELHI: The Congress’ position has and will always be to respect electors and their freedom of choice irrespective of their location, senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal said on Wednesday, even as he refused to comment specifically on Rahul Gandhi’s ‘North-South’ remarks.

    Sibal also slammed the BJP for accusing Congress of creating a divide, saying it was not only ludicrous and laughable but mischievous as well for a party to level such an allegation that has “perfected the art of dividing communities, dividing mindsets and polarizing societies”.

    His remarks came amid a political slugfest over Gandhi’s comment, with the BJP leaders accusing the former Congress chief of belittling North Indians and of speaking in different tones in different parts of the country.

    Asked about Gandhi’s remarks, Sibal told PTI, “I do not know the substance of the comment nor do I know the context of the comment. So I do not wish to comment on Rahul Gandhi’s statement at all.”

    “All that I need to say is as a Congressman, I respect every elector in this country, no matter where he or she is located.

    I respect his or her freedom of choice and wisdom when he or she exercises the right to vote,” he said.

    Sibal said he does not think any Congress person would ever believe that an elector in this country does not deserve respect.

    “That always has been the position of the Congress party and will continue to be the position of the Congress party,” asserted Sibal, who is among the ‘group of 23’ leaders who wrote to Sonia Gandhi seeking large-scale party reforms.

    Sibal further said the BJP is a “political party that has perfected the art of dividing communities, dividing mindsets and polarizing societies”.

    They should not be heard to make that charge against the Congress party, he said.

    That charge is not only ludicrous and laughable but mischievous as well, the former Union minister added.

    Earlier, another G-23 leader Anand Sharma also reportedly said only Rahul Gandhi can clarify in what context he made that observation and asserted that the Congress has never disrespected any region.

    Reports also said G-23 members Ghulam Nabi Azad, Bhupinder Hooda and Sharma met at Azad’s house.

    While this particular meeting could not be confirmed immediately, party sources said such courtesy meetings among leaders are routine.

    Addressing a public gathering in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday, Gandhi had said, “For the first 15 years, I was an MP in the north. I had got used to a different type of politics. For me, coming to Kerala was very refreshing as suddenly I found that people are interested in issues and not just superficially but going into detail in issues.”

    The comments triggered sharp reactions from several BJP leaders, including some senior ministers, who immediately accused the Congress of being an ‘opportunist’ and alleged that Gandhi belittled North Indians, despite him and his family members winning several elections from Amethi in Uttar Pradesh in the past.

    Reacting to the attack from BJP leaders, the Congress said Gandhi had given a clarion call to the people to question the government on real issues and the north-south divide was a “toolkit” being sold by the BJP to the public.

    The Central government is just offering dreams. I think they did not give weightage to two important sectors namely defence and agriculture, senior leader Kapil Sibal said.

    On 05 December in Jaipur, Bharatiya Janata Party President Amit Shah held a press conference. In the press conference, he talked about two Issues.

    On the Agusta-Westland issue, BJP President Amit Shah said that the opposition has no issue, so speaking on the issue of Christian Michelle. Does the opposition want to save the middleman?

    On being questioned, Amit Shah said about Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu that we have never said that Sidhu is unholy, we do not believe that. He said that the Congress should clarify whether Navjot Singh Sidhu had gone to Pakistan with the consent of Rahul Gandhi hugged Bazwa, the Pak army chief there. If such Happened  then it is natural the slogan of Pakistan Zindabad would be shouted in the rally.

    What is Sidhu’s Pakistan connection, Crime Branch will investigate: Now, during the visit of the Delhi crime branch Navjot Singh Sidhu to Pakistan, during a visit to Pakistan, investigate the case with several suspects. BJP spokesman Naveen Kumar met the special commissioner of Delhi Police, Rajesh Basti and he has given this complaint to the Crime Branch. The complaint has been lodged by BJP spokesman Navin Kumar.

    The big impact of Zee Media news : The slogan Pakistan Zindabad be shouted in Sidhu’s rally in Alwar has had a major impact. In this matter, Rajasthan Election Commission CEO Anand Mumar has summoned the full report and the video.

    Congress leader and Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu may be in trouble. CEO Anand Kumar has summoned the report in the case of allegations of sloganeering of Pakistan’s Zindabad in his meeting of Alwar. In the case, he has sought a complete factual report from Alwar collector. Along with this, the video of the alleged gathering has also been ordered. In the matter, CEO Anand Mumar has summoned the video and the complete factual report. After the report comes, the Election Department will decide on the action. It is also verbally told that the police was standing behind Sidhu in the meeting and the voice of the alleged slogan came from behind the gathering.

    If the case is found to be more sensitive and suspect, then the entire report and video can be sent to ECI, after which he can take necessary action. It is worth noting that a video was viral in which Siddhu’s meeting was heard by slogans of Pakistan Zindabad. In this, Siddhu has clarified that this video has been edited to spoil his image.

    It is worth noting that suspicion is being expressed on this alleged video of Zee News. Similar suspicion was also expressed on the Zee News video related toslogan of AAjadi JNU,but  it was later found to be correct in the investigation.

    The second fact is that Sudhir Chaudhary of DNA has detailed the alleged video related to Pakistan Zinderabad slogan. Whether it is a real video or not, it is a matter of investigation but with the discussion of the alleged slogan of Pakistan Zindabad, the events of the slogan are being shown in the media ,in the praise of  Siddhu and Congress and criticizes modi Government by hated words.

    Amit Shah had questioned in the Press Conference held in Jaipur whether the opposition wants to save the middleman Michelle? Congress has appointed congress leader Aljon Joseph to defend the declared in a manner that yes, in a way, yes, that the Chopper scandal, Agusta Westland has been accused by Congressman Aljon Joseph the alleged middleman Michelle in a bribe transaction.

    We are unable to understand that on the instructions of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, why does the Congress leader’s advocate come forward to defend alleged criminals and organizations involved in anti-India protests? The SIMI was banned in the NDA regime. At that time Salman Khurshid came forward to defend Simi.

    The way Sidhu had built bridges in praise of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan in his journey to Pakistan just a few days ago and on the contrary, in the rude language for India’s prime minister Narendra Modi, in his election rally in Rajasthan. Similarly when Salman Khurshid had gone to Pakistan, then the praise of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, then the Prime Minister of Pakistan  and he used hated word for the PM of India.

    Similarly, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Spokes person of congress and lawyer of Supreme Court , came forward in the court  to defend the arrest of the urban Maoists.

    In the presence of Kanhaiya Kumar and Omar Khalid, freedom slogans where shouted in JNU. Immediately after that, Rahul Gandhi reached JNU to pat there backs.

    Recently, Justice Kurien Joseph made a allegations own former CJI Deepak Mishra and said that  former CGI Mishra was doing his duty by the presser of external forces. Former Solicitor General Mohan Parasaran, while correcting this question, described the allegations of Kurien Joseph as serious and said that retired judge (Joseph) should be told that on what basis he gave such statements after his retirement.

    Ashant has given a decision in the case of Sabarimala
    Likewise, in the Ram Temple case? The yogi

    The Supreme Court’s new bench is going to hear the matter on Ayodhya issue on October 29.

    The new Bench of Justice Gogoi, Justice SK Cole and Justice Joejeph will hear the case.

    It is worth noting that following the policy of division of Muslim appeasement and rule of the British, the Supreme Court advocate while advocating on behalf of the Muslim Law Personal Board and Congress leader Kapil Sibal, who was a minister in the UPA regime, during the Gujarat assembly elections The Supreme Court had said that no decision should be given on the Ayodhya-Babri dispute before the 2019 elections.

    On the contrary, UP Chief Minister Adityanath said on Saturday that just as the Supreme Court has ruled in the matter of Sabarimala, the same should be heard in the Ram Temple case. Describing the Ram Mandir case as a matter of faith of the people of India, Yogi said that the temple in Ayodhya is very important in the hearts of people.

    Addressing the program organized by the India Foundation, Yogi said, “If the Supreme Court can decide on the matter in Sabarimala, then it should also order its order on Ram temple issue. I urge the court to do so. “He also clarified that there is no electoral issue for Ramayana and for his party Bharatiya Janata Party.

    His comment is also important because his statement came at a time when the Vishwa Hindu Parishad demanded that the government should make a law in Parliament for the construction of a temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya. Yogi also discussed the development work being done by his government.

    Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has also said that Ramjanma land issue is not about politics, it is about religious sentiments. In the case of Ram Janabumbi, the Supreme Court will pronounce the judgment. All eyes are looking towards the Supreme Court with the ray of hope to get positive decisions in favor of Lord Ram temple.

    The Chief Minister Yogi has urged the Supreme Court to take a decision in favor of Ram temple and appealed to the court because he has given verdict on Sabarimala temple, hence the decision of Ram temple should be given as soon as possible to restore peace in the country. It is important for the decision to come early.

    CM Yogi said that the Supreme Court does not discriminate in decision making because there is no political significance in this matter but it is a matter of religious sentiments.

    It is necessary to remember that members of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty themselves have been confused with Indian civilization, Hindutva etc. and have been misleading the people in the greed of power.

    Pandit Nehru had said that he is a devout Hindu, otherwise he is a Muslim with education from English and culture.

    In the same way, Rajiv Gandhi, son of Firoz Khan, opened the door of Ramlala’s door to get votes of Hindus. Similarly, the Shahbahan passed the law by passing the law passed by the Supreme Court to get their votes for Muslims to vote.

    Similarly, on the instruction of Sonia Gandhi during the UPA rule, then Ambika Soni, the then minister of the time, gave affidavits in the Supreme Court, saying that Ram is fictional and not historical.

    In the UPA regime, former Home Minister Dwija Shinde and Chidambaram falsely propagated the words of Hindu terror Saffron Terror. Similarly, Rahul Gandhi also went to America and said that Hindu terror is more dangerous than the LeT in India.

    As with this kind of antics, as Ani Antoine in his report told that the image of Congress began to be identified as a Muslim party.

    Considering its consistent defeat, the Congress party now started a double trick. For this, Rahul Gandhi is not only a multiprofitist but also a revered Brahmin, but also with his mother, Sonia Gandhi, to show Shivbhakt also.

    On the other hand, he discarded one of his army Hindus and left them to please the Muslims.

    On October 31, the world’s tallest Vallabhbhai Patel statue of Unity is to be unveiled by PM Modi. On such occasions, former Vice President Hamid Ansari attributed Vallabh Bhai Patel and India to Partition’s partition.

    Shashi Tharoor has also shrugged off the insulting of Shivling by preaching the word of Hindu Pakistan.

    The public needs to be cautious about this kind of conspiracy that disrupts India’s unity.
