In an apparent swipe at the opposition, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar today said India is developing at a ‘nuclear speed’ but some people want to ‘bring instability’, and are take randomly surfaced issues as authentic.
Dhankhar’s comments came amid the opposition's demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) inquiry into the Hindenburg Research allegations against SEBI chairperson Madhabi Buch. The Congress has threatened to protest nationwide if the JPC investigation is not started, while the BJP has called this demand an attempt to weaken India's economy.
Addressing after the flagging-off 'Tiranga Bike Rally' from Bharat Mandapam, as part of 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign, Jagdeep Dhankhar said, ‘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.’ He said, ‘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 also urged the citizens to be cautious with such forces, sinister forces, with pernicious designs.
The Vice President emphasized that the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign shows the country's commitment towards 'Viksit Bharat' and indicates that this century is India's century’. He also expressed his belief that every Indian country will resolve to subdue forces inimical to the country. ‘We are no longer a nation with potential or a promise. We are a nation today on the rise as never before. Our rise is unstoppable. Our rise will make us a developed nation by 2047 when we celebrate the centenary of our Independence’, Mr Dhankhar added.
The bike rally, which started from the Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, ended at the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium, passing through India Gate. The third edition of the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign is being celebrated from August 9 to 15 to mark the 78th Independence Day. Union ministers Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Kiren Rijiju and Mansukh Mandaviya were also present at the event.
