Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar criticizes Congress leaders for comparing India to Bangladesh, warns against anti-national forces infiltrating institutions.
Taking strong exception to some remarks by a few Congress leaders comparing the situation in Bangladesh with India, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday (August 10) said efforts by some to infuse a narrative that what happened in our neighbourhood is bound to happen in our country is deeply concerning.
"How can a citizen of this country having been a Member of Parliament, and the other who has seen enough of Foreign Service takes no time in saying that what happened in the neighbourhood will happen in India," Mr. Dhankhar said while addressing the legal fraternity at a platinum jubilee function of the Rajasthan High Court.
"Efforts by some to infuse a narrative that what happened in our neighbourhood is bound to happen in our Bharat, is deeply concerning," he said.
Though Mr. Dhankhar did not name anyone, he was apparently referring to the recent remarks by senior Congress leaders Salman Khurshid and Mani Shankar Aiyar.
At a recent event, Mr. Khurshid had said what is happening in Bangladesh can happen in the country though "everything may look normal on the surface".
Mr. Aiyar had compared the situation in Bangladesh with that of India.
Mr. Dhankhar also said anti-national forces are using the "platforms of our constitutional institutions to hide or legitimise their actions".
