Spokespersons: Shri Pawan Khera and Shri Vaibhav Walia: Shri Pawan Khera said Apart from releasing this letter written by our General Secretary, Organisation to the Hon’ble Home Minister of India, we are also issuing a warning to the BJP and its supporters. Please refrain from defaming ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’. Do not even attempt to stop ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ as you will not succeed. Anybody, who is trying to stop India from getting united, is definitely against the concept of a United India and is responsible for attempting to break India. Their faces stand exposed. Who can be against the concept of uniting India- obviously, the ones, who do not want to see a united India. Their faces are for everyone to see.

We are entering Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab - these are sensitive states. We have drawn the attention of the Hon’ble Home-Minister through this letter to the regular breach in security of the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’. My colleague Shri Vaibhav Walia filed an FIR on the 23rd December, in the Sohna City police station, because apparently some IB officials tried to barge into our containers completely, illegally. They had no business to be where they were. When they were caught red-handed, they tried to escape. The police have not yet acted on the FIR done by Shri Vaibhav Walia on 23rd December.

When the Yatra entered Delhi, we saw shocking scenes at Badarpur. It was a total collapse of order. There was no rope team, the rope party, which protects the leader and regulates the crowd. When the yatra approached the Lal Qila (Red Fort) area, again there was a collapse, we showed you the videos. In fact, Rahul Gandhi and other leaders were trying to regulate the crowd - there were no police presence, not enough in any case.

So, these are examples that we have given. We are not even talking about the way they have tried to defame the yatra, the way they have tried to stop the yatra, the way they have tried to spread rumours about the yatra, that we are capable of fighting, we will fight, we have been fighting, but, when it comes to the security of Bharat Yatris, it’s a very serious concern. This is the Party which has lost not just two of its Prime Ministers, but it has lost an entire leadership in Chhattisgarh in the Naxal attack.

So, our concerns need to be addressed, especially, when we enter the sensitive states of Punjab and Jammu & Kashmir. Wednesday, December 28, 2022
