New Delhi:On Independence Day, Aam Aadmi Party has strongly reacted to the Prime Minister calling every voice raised against the government in the country as 'mindless Naxals'. AAP's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal himself has come forward. He said that yes, I am a mental Naxalite, because I am a patriot and I am proud of it. Anyone who raises questions in this country, wants to change the rotten system and dreams of a corruption-free India, according to the Prime Minister, is a mental Naxal. If Bhagat Singh and Baba Saheb Ambedkar were alive today, the Prime Minister would not have spared them and would have called them mental Naxals. He said that if anyone does or says anything against the country, I will counter it with all my strength.
Kejriwal gave a big statement:
Releasing a video on social media on Monday, Arvind Kejriwal said that according to the Prime Minister, a mindless Naxal is one who dares to raise questions in this country. The one who wants to change the rotten system, who wants good government schools, hospitals, electricity, water, sewer, drainage and good system, who dreams of a corruption-free India, is a mental Naxal according to the Prime Minister. The one who is not afraid of the Prime Minister and the BJP and dreams of a developed India is a mindless Naxal according to the Prime Minister.
Arvind Kejriwal said that if Bhagat Singh was alive today, the Prime Minister would have called him a mental Naxal. Had Baba Saheb Ambedkar been alive today, who had fought for equality for all, the Prime Minister would not have spared him and would have called him a mental Naxal. I want to tell the Prime Minister that according to Arvind Kejriwal, I am a mental Naxalite because I am a patriot and I am proud of it. If anyone does or says anything against the country, Kejriwal will counter it with all his might.
On the other hand, senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh said that our Prime Minister is currently very upset with the youth and Gen-G movement and now Gen-Alpha have also come on the streets. They are saying stop paper leaks, fix our schools and improve our lives. The Prime Minister is so worried that sometimes he wakes up at 12 o'clock in the night and starts making reels and sometimes calls these youth mental Naxals.
Sanjay Singh asked, Prime Minister, whom do you call a mindless Naxal? Those youth who are saying stop paper leaks in the country and give us employment? Those small children who are coming out on the streets and saying that the roof of our school is collapsing, there is no sitting room for the children, they have to eat salt and bread in the mid-day meal and insects are found in our food, this should be rectified. Is the Prime Minister addressing them as mental Naxals? Prime Minister is unable to tolerate how the public, youth, small children, farmers and mothers and sisters of this country have started raising their voice for themselves.
Sanjay Singh said that the Prime Minister is a person full of hatred. He is not able to tolerate these things that how small children and youth are coming out on the streets against him, hence he addressed them as mental Naxals. I want to say to the youth and especially to those youth who are running the Fix the Schools campaign today that the people of CJP should not be afraid, should not bow down, should keep fighting and keep moving forward.
Sanjay Singh said that the real minded Naxalites are those people of BJP who killed Abdul's father. Mental Naxals are those people who went to Rajasthan and beat up small children and CJP workers. Mental Naxals are those people who get a case filed against them for speaking about the school. Therefore, in reality, it is the Bharatiya Jhagda Party that instigates the mental Naxal conflict. A mentally challenged Naxal is not the youth of this country, he is raising his voice for his rights and will always continue to do so.
Sanjay Singh said on Twitter that the Prime Minister called the youth of the country 'mindless Naxals'. Is Jen-Ji, who raised her voice against the paper leak, a 'mindless Naxal'? Are small children demanding to fix their schools 'brainy Naxals'? Or is the 'Bharatiya Jhagda Party' that is instigating the fight a mental Naxal?
Yes. I am a mental Naxal. Because I am a patriot. And I am proud of it. pic.twitter.com/ADE3YRfvSJ
