New Delhi: The Socialist Party announced a symbolic protest dharna against the BJP government’s decision to place the Red Fort on mortgage with Dalmiya business house. It said the government’s move is a crime against the nation and the party opposes this decision.
The dharna will be held at Gandhi Samadhi Rajghat on Thursday evening at 5 pm. It said all the Indian citizens, who are proud of country’s national heritage, considers the BJP government’s decision as “national crime”.
The Socialist Party raised four questions on the decision of the government. y
If the priceless resources – water, forest, land – of the country including education, health, defense, railways etc. are to be sold into private hands, then what is the need and role of governments in the country? It asked.
Are the governments in power only to contest elections with the help of uncountable amount of money collected by corrupt methods and, after winning elections, to enjoy luxurious life during and after the tenure at the cost of peoples’ hard earned money? It further asked
It also slammed opposition parties saying they did not raise a decisive voice against the sale of the national heritage. They just issue hollow statements on the harms of selling national assets and heritage, It added.
It also made it clear that the Socialist Party does not believe in ensnaring the voters with baits of false promises and communal-caste agendas, cannot hope to be too popular during election times. Therefore, it has no political power to oppose such moves of the governments in an incisive manner.
It urged the people to take part in the sit-in and show their opposition to mortgaging of Red Fort.
I propose that in the same vein/shame, the BJP/RSS PMO who never shed a drop of blood/lost a soul for the freedom of the present left-over Hindustan, aka, Bharat, India; rather, sided with the UK, the colonizers, should do the same with GT Road (let them collect toll), Qutub Minar (let them collect entrance fee), both built by slaves. If the rich can not think of how to help the downtrodden, let the poor men’s generosity help the rich get richer. God will take care of Indians.
