The Union Home Ministry on Monday confirmed that it has no information on 바카라tukde tukde바카라 gang, a term which has been frequently used by the Prime Minister, Home Minister and other union ministers. Replying to an RTI query by activist Saket Gokhale, the ministry said that it did not possess information regarding the term.
Responding to the ministry바카라s reply, Gokhale said that the Home Minister and the Home ministry are contradicting each other and he will take the matter to the Election Commission.
바카라Mr Shah has been using this term repeatedly during election rallies. This is something the EC should examine because the home minister and the home ministry are contradicting each other,바카라 Gokhale told Outlook.
Talking about the further course of action, Gokhale said that he will send notices to both the Home Minister and Foreign Minister S Jaishankar, who made a remark on the 바카라tukde tukde바카라 gang during a TV interview on January 6. Jaishankar said there was no 바카라tukde tukde gang바카라 at Jawaharlal Nehru University when he was a student there.
바카라I will be sending a notice to both ministers for clarification on their remarks,바카라 he said.
In his RTI query, Gokhale asked information about whether Shah's reference to the alleged 'tukde tukde gang' was based on specific briefings by the ministry or other law enforcement agencies.
Gokhale said that he will explore the option of the judiciary if information is not forthcoming and he also demanded an apology from the Home Minister.
바카라I need clarity on where exactly the government of India stands. Either you prove that the ministry doesn바카라t have information which you possess and that both are contradicting each other. Or tender an apology and tell people that you got carried away in political rhetoric and used the term, which doesn바카라t exist,바카라 he added.
At a rally in Delhi last week, Shah made the latest reference to the term as he said the Congress and the 바카라tukde-tukde gang바카라 are inciting violence against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and they should be punished.
When the Home Minister says that certain individuals are trying to break India apart, it바카라s a matter of serious concern, said Gokhale.
바카라I will be reaching out to people, who have been branded as part of 바카라tukde tukde gang바카라 and encourage them to file defamation suits against Shah,바카라 he said.
Gokhale바카라s RTI application also sought information on the definition of 'tukde tukde gang' as identified by the Ministry of Home Affairs and whether a standard operating procedure (SOP) has been drawn up to identify the gang. The term came into wide usage in 2016 after it was alleged that some students raised 바카라anti-India slogans바카라 in JNU. Now that the Home Ministry admitted this term doesn바카라t exist, there should be push back from people against it, says Gokhale.
바카라We had enough since the JNU episode three years ago. People have been constantly subjected to this. There have been many sedition charges against individuals and 바카라go to Pakistan바카라 taunts. We cannot get it institutionalized,바카라 he said.
Gokhale also urged the opposition parties to take up the issue in the upcoming budget session of the Parliament, which starts from January 31.
바카라Some members should effectively move a private member question on this. And the PM has to give an answer. That바카라s where the role of individual ends and the role of opposition begin,바카라 he said adding that dog whistle politics had to come to an end.
