New Delhi, Jan 28 : Union Minister Prakash Javadekar has blamed the Congress and Rahul Gandhi for the violence during the tractor parade of farmers on the Republic Day in Delhi.
He has said that condemning the Delhi violence is not enough, but the culprits should be punished.
Regarding the incident on the Red Fort, he said that the country will not forget the insult of the tricolour.
The Union Minister said that sometimes in a way it seems that these people who have been defeated in the elections are all gathering and trying to spoil the atmosphere in the country.
Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar held a press conference at BJP headquarters on Wednesday. He said, “It is not enough to condemn the Delhi riots that happened yesterday, whoever inspired it should be punished. India will not forget the insult of the tricolour. The Congress has consistently fueled the protests by these farmers.” Javadekar said, “Rahul Gandhi was not only supporting but also provoking. He had done the same with the CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act). He had incited to come on the road and from the second day the movement started. The Congress’ deliberately instigated the farmers, yesterday’s tweets from Youth Congress and Congress related organisations are the evidence.”
