In an apparent swipe at the opposition over its demand for a JPC probe into Hindenburg Research’s allegations, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Tuesday said India is developing at a “nuclear speed” but some people want to “bring instability”, and take randomly surfaced issues as authentic.
The remarks came as the opposition stepped up its attack on the government over Hindenburg’s allegations against SEBI chairperson Madhabi Buch, with the Congress warning of a nationwide stir if a JPC probe is not initiated. The BJP has dismissed the demand as a “sham” aimed at undermining the Indian economy
Dhankhar, who flagged off a ‘Tiranga Bike Rally’ from Bharat Mandapam, as part of ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, said in his address that “Fellow citizens, our pace of development is such that we are moving ahead at a nuclear speed. Some people are unable to digest it, they want to bring obstruction and instability”.
“They think that if India keeps moving at this place them it will definitely become a ‘Vishwa Guru’. Those who bring obstruction, such people take randomly surfaced issues as authentic,” he said.
“I caution the nation, I urge the citizens to be extremely alert at such forces, sinister forces, with pernicious designs. Their only motive being to destabilise Bharat, so that our progress is impeded,” the vice president said.
Dhankhar asserted that the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign shows the country’s commitment towards ‘Viksit Bharat’ and indicates that this century is “India’s century”.
