Union Minister Terms Letter Rising 'Mob Lynching' Issue As An Attempt To Destabalise Modi Govt

New Delhi: Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Wednesday said that “Award-returning gang has once again become active in order to destabilise Modi government”. The letter comes a day after several famous personalities wrote a letter to PM Modi stating that ‘Jai Sri Ram’ slogan is slowly becoming a 'provocative war cry'. The letter reads that there is no democracy without mutual consent. Singh, who heads the Ministry of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries in a letter, said “Where were these people who are raising questions on mob lynching when Kairana (Uttar Pradesh) MLA was recently asking Muslims to boycott Hindu shopkeepers? Why did they remain silent?” On being questioned on the letter, senior BJP leader Singh said “It seems like Award vaapsi gang has become active”. He said “Award Waapsi gang has again become active with an aim to tarnish the image of PM Modi and destabilise the government.” On the other hand, West Bengal BJP Chief Dilip Ghosh has also termed those who have written to PM Modi as ‘anti-nationals’ and have accused that they are acting like opposition’s  puppet. Mamata speaks up: After a group of eminent citizens expressed concern at the number of "religious identity-based hate crimes" in a letter to the prime minister, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Wednesday that whatever they stated was "quite right" and that she had been "saying it for a long. Whenever the country is in a problem, whenever there is a need for social enlightenment, these prominent personalities come to the fore and inspire people, Banerjee said. "I have seen many a time what several speeches could not do, one song did more than that," the Trinamool Congress leader said.
