NEW DELHI: The Narendra Modi Government is using nationalism as a “weapon” to divide people and it believes in “we the BJP people” to be part of the Constitution and not “we the people of India”, opposition leader Sharad Yadav said on Friday.
Addressing the national executive of the Loktantrik Janata Dal, of which he is the patron, Yadav alleged that the BJP has deployed the plank of nationalism to paint those who attacked students in JNU as patriots while the victims have been criticised, and has been using it to divide society on religious lines.
He said the Constitution was never under so much danger as it is now as the ruling BJP after retaining power has launched a strong attack on its core values. (AGENCIES)
