Country’s youth stood with PM Modi, will continue to stand with him in future: Harsh Malhotra

Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra on Saturday said that the country is appreciating Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s sensitivity and his dialogue skills in finding a solution to the students’ movement.

According to Malhotra, the manner in which the PM Modi sought suggestions from the youth during the process of resolving the students’ movement was unprecedented, and following the resolution of the issue, his image among the youth has become even stronger, the Delhi BJP chief claimed. “The youth of the country stood with PM Modi, stand with him today, and will continue to stand with him in the future because he has lived up to the aspirations of the youth,” he asserted.

The Delhi BJP chief further said that the alleged provocative speeches made by Opposition leaders, particularly Arvind Kejriwal and Rahul Gandhi, with the intention of turning the students’ movement violent have exposed their true colours before the people of the country as well as the youth.

The BJP leader pointed out that the identification of more than 2,500 criminal faces through the police facial-recognition system in the Jantar Mantar area makes it clear that criminal elements had dangerously intruded in the agitation.

He said throughout the duration of the movement, it was clearly visible that a power struggle was going on between Kejriwal and Rahul Gandhi. While Rahul did not hesitate to compromise the PM’s security, Kejriwal engaged in provoking unrest at Jantar Mantar from the very beginning.

The manner in which he posted a false video on Friday evening claiming that “the police will remove the protest site tonight” made it clear that they had no concern for the students. They simply wanted to incite violence and defame the government, he alleged.
