Supporting divisive forces is sedition, not freedom of speech, Shah tells Rahul
Chhapra, Apr 28 (UNI): BJP president Amit Shah today put Congress in dock for allegedly supporting to those who raised anti-national slogans in campus of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), saying such behaviour was not freedom of speech but an act of sedition, which could not be tolerated.
Mr Shah, while addressing an election meeting in favour of BJP candidate and former Union Minister Rajeev Pratap Rudy for Lok Sabha election here, said that Congress favoured the elements who raised anti-national slogans in campus of JNU in February 2016, which was an act of sedition. Such behaviour of Congress party could never be treated as freedom of speech, he added.
BJP president pointed out that Congress president Mr Gandhi had described the act of raising anti-government slogans as in JNU campus as "freedom of speech".
"Under no circumstances, such act could be described as freedom of speech and people of the country would not accept the argument given by Mr Gandhi," he said.
Mr Shah said that Narendra Modi government had taken tough stand against terrorism and recent airstrikes on terror camps in Pakistan by Indian Air Force was reflection of the commitment of the present regime to curb terrorism with iron hand.
After US and Israel, India had become the third country to do cross border operation to attack the enemies, he said, adding that no such operation was possible under the regime of Congress government.
