On ‘Quit India’ anniversary, BJP calls for ‘family rule’, ‘corruption’, ‘appeasement’ to leave country

Elaborating on Modi’s tweet, BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad said if the democratic fabric of the country is to be safeguarded these ills- family rule, and corruption have to quit India.

“The meaning of family dynasty is that a son or daughter of a leader will become the leader of the party. Not just a leader but he will either become a PM/CM or a candidate for the PM/CM post irrespective of their capability. Packaging and re-packaging of Rahul Gandhi keep going on. But does Congress ever think of Rahul Gandhi as capable of becoming a leader of a country like India?” he asked.

The BJP MPs also staged a demonstration on the Parliament premises remembering the the Quit India movement and raised slogans: ‘Corruption Quit India’; ‘Dynasty Quit India’; and ‘Appeasement Quit India’.

Participating in the protest, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said, “In these 75 years Congress, and parties supported by it, gave three things to the country that is eating up the country like termites. Dynasty…It is time to create an atmosphere against them because democracy is for the common people. The second question is about Corruption. The third is about Appeasement – vote bank politics is being done by misleading minorities and they are not allowing implementation of policies in the country.”

Meanwhile, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor took to Twitter raising a demand for communalism, corruption and cronyism to ‘Quit India’.

In a response to the BJP’s demonstration in Parliament, he said: “Ironic to see BJP members near Gandhiji’s statue in Parliament chanting slogans with the theme #QuitIndia. Where were their ideological forebears 81 years ago? Supporting the British imperialist government!”

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took the opportunity to pay homage to all those who toiled towards bringing freedom to India. “Today, on the anniversary of ‘Bharat Chhodo Andolan’, I pay my homage to everyone who had given everything for the freedom of this great country. We must always uphold their great ideals of harmony and humanity to ensure a healthy, beautiful, promising, united, tolerant, strong India in the future. The idea of India should not die,” she wrote on Twitter.
