New Delhi: Opposition on Tuesday targeted government in the Lok Sabha over the issue of ‘intolerance’, saying instead of “developed India”, a “divided India” was coming to the fore and it is a matter of serious concern.
NCP leader Supriya Sule referred to the remarks of actors Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan on intolerance, saying the issue needs to be taken seriously and it is a duty of the party in position of power to remove the sense of insecurity from peoples’ mind. “Lets not run down Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan.
They have contributed substantially globally for India...their whole contribution is big,” she said while participating in debate on ‘intolerance’ in the House. She said not only the famous people, even the common people are feeling insecure and it is the duty of the party that is in power to make them feel secure.
“We are looking for a developed India but if you read any newspaper or watch any channel, actually we are looking at a divided India,” said Sule. She urged home minister Rajnath Singh to tell the BJP members to think before commenting on any issue particularly related to intolerance.
Expressing disappointment over murder of Narendra Dabholkar and Govind Pansare, she said these were acts of intolerance. YSRC’s Varaprasad Rao said whatever is happening is “little disturbing”. He said instead of getting into the intolerance controversy, people should think of renovating the thousands of temples.
