"Disturbance Weaponised To Taint Temples Of Democracy": Vice President

"I am pained and anguished to indicate to you that disruption and disturbance have been weaponised as strategic means to taint the temples of democracy," he added.

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Sunday said disruption and disturbance in temples of democracy cannot be weaponised as a political strategy.

Addressing a convocation of the Jamia Millia Islamia here, he said education is important for the growth of society and asked the youth to empower themselves.

"Democracy is about dialogue, discussion, deliberation and debate to secure public good. Surely, Democracy cannot be about disruption and disturbance," Mr Dhankhar said.
