Ramdev urges Gen Z to shun violence
Ramdev also urged Gen Z protesters to avoid violence and lawlessness, saying demonstrations must remain within constitutional and democratic limits.
“Independence means having our own system, our own education, healthcare, economy, and prioritising the honour and self-respect of our nation’s citizens above all else. We should not be fighting among ourselves. Children and youth shouldn’t be fighting; Gen Zs are not meant to be fighters. They shouldn’t be out spreading lawlessness and anarchy on the streets. Yes, we must fight for our rights, and we must fully fulfill our duties, but all of this should be done while keeping democratic and constitutional limits in mind,” he said.
He also condemned what he described as growing hostility between people from different castes and communities.
“Shame on those people! I condemn those who, in the name of being citizens of India, hate and harbour malice toward one another, hating each other politically, and based on caste. Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras, Dalits, Adivasis, forest dwellers, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Jains, and Buddhists standing against one another with such hostility, as if they are thirsty for each other’s blood!” he said.
“We must break down all these walls of hatred across the country. On this 80th Independence Day, let us pledge to tear down the doctrine of ‘divide and rule’, to stop breaking India and dividing this nation,” he added.
