The V-P also spoke of the Karnataka government’s decision to give Muslims reservation in public contracts — an issue which led to Parliament to be disrupted on Monday. (Express File) A day after the RSS called for “one nation, one culture” at its Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha meeting in Bengaluru, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar Monday said it was time to “nurture one nation, one culture”.
The V-P also spoke of the Karnataka government’s decision to give Muslims reservation in public contracts — an issue which led to Parliament to be disrupted on Monday as BJP MPs created a ruckus over it.
Speaking to a group of Rajya Sabha interns in New Delhi, Dhankhar said: “Time has come when we must nurture our culture, one Nation, one culture. No civilisation in the world is as inclusive as Bharat. We have never believed in confrontation, never in adversarial stance but what we find is, even political temperature is very high in the country. We quickly take irretrievable, confrontational positioning on issues. We are the only way out in dialogue.”
“You would have seen recently that in one state there is an indication that they will make reservation for contracts that is in the domain of business to a particular community, a religious denomination. Now look at the Constitutional provisions. Does our Constitution allow any reservation on religious considerations? Find out what Dr B R Ambedkar had said, and you will be enlightened that there can be no reservation on religious considerations,” he said.
