Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on April 12, claiming that the saffron party wants to destroy India’s diversity, while the grand old party seeks to celebrate it.
Congress Aims To Strengthen Unity By Celebrating India’s Diversity: Jairam Ramesh
“There is a fundamental difference between the BJP and the Congress. The BJP wants to impose uniformity across the country. The Congress, on the other hand, aims to strengthen unity by celebrating the country’s diversity,” Jairam Ramesh said.
“The BJP is destroying the soul of India. So we are fighting the elections to preserve our diversities that have defined India, and not to impose an artificial uniformity across states, across cultures and across regions,” he added.
Ethnic strife has been continuing in Manipur for the past 11 months but the Prime Minister failed to visit it for once and did not speak about its condition even for three minutes, the Congress leader alleged.
