Central Minister's Strong Remarks

He emphasized that the misuse of democratic freedoms should not be a shield for forces undermining India's sovereignty and stability. In a post on X, Rijiju expressed pride in being Indian but condemned those who allegedly prioritize personal interests over national welfare.

Concerns Over Selfish Interests

Rijiju stated, "I take great pride in living in India, but I feel ashamed of those selfish individuals who lack moral values and chase after wealth while defending terrorists, Maoists, and anti-India gangs!" He underscored the importance of democratic values, asserting that India is committed to open debate and dissent, provided that such freedoms are not exploited to support elements working against national interests.

The Beauty of Indian Democracy

He further noted that the beauty of Indian democracy lies in the right to express dissent without fear of censorship. The only condition is to refrain from supporting those actively attempting to harm India's unbreakable sovereignty, internal stability, and economic growth. Meanwhile, Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Party (CJP), is set to return to India on June 6 (Saturday) to lead a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan amid ongoing concerns regarding alleged irregularities in competitive examinations.
