‘How will India become Vishwaguru if…,’ asks Arvind Kejriwal amid Manipur, Haryana violence
Arvind Kejriwal in his Independence Day speech on Tuesday asked who is benefitting from the clashes in Manipur or Haryana and how India will become Vishwaguru if such conflicts continue. "Manipur is burning. A brother has taken up arms against another brother.
In Haryana too, we saw two communities fighting. Who is benefitting from all these? How will India become Vishwaguru if? We are saying every day that India will become Vishwaguru," Kejriwal said. In his Independence Day address, Prime Minister Modi emphasized the importance of unity by referring to the citizens as 'parivaarjan' or members of a family.
He assured that peace is gradually being restored in Manipur and assured the people that the entire nation stands in support of Manipur's progress. "Suppose a family where after the father's death, his four wards are fighting for the father's money. Can this family progress? No, they will even deplete what their father earned.
If we want to become Vishwaguru, then 140 crore people of the country should remain like a family," Kejriwal said.
