Describing the RSS as the force behind the Narendra Modi government, JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar today alleged the present dispensation had converted the country into a “laboratory of communalism and anti-dalit” policies.
“Modi is the Prime Minister and the RSS is his strength. They have converted the country into a laboratory of communalism and anti-dalit policies. Why do you fear when we talk about our ideology seeking social equality and fight to end casteism ” he asked, addressing a packed gathering of students assembled under the banner of Progressive Students’ Association.
Mr Kumar, who arrived here under heavy police security in the backdrop of the alleged physical assault on him aboard a Jet Airways flight to Pune, also asserted he was not going to be intimidated by such attacks.
“Police are telling lies saying that what happened in the morning was a quarrel over seats. Quarrel over seats take place in Mumbai local trains and not on planes. I do not want to press charges against the attackers because they also belong to us and have been incited. But I will not be intimidated,” he said, referring to the incident that forced him to travel by road to Pune.
Referring to “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” slogan controversy and yoga guru Ramdev’s comments, he said “We will certainly say ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, but who has given you monopoly over this ”
The 29-year-old JNU student alleged that the nature of “Bharat Mata” was being altered.
