Rohtak/New Delhi: Adding fire to the raging “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” controversy, yoga guru Ramdev has said that but for the rule of law he would have “beheaded” lakhs of people for refusing to chant the slogan.
Ramdev’s outburst came against the backdrop of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi’s recent remarks that he will not chant “Bharat Mata ki Jai” even if a knife is put to his throat.
“Arrey is desh mein kanoon hai, nahi toh teri ek ki kya, hum toh lakhon ki gardan kaat sakte hain (Look, there is rule of law in this country, otherwise let alone one, we can behead lakhs,” Ramdev said in a veiled attack on Mr Owaisi but he did not name anyone.
He also said that there is a rule of law and he respects the Constitution of this country. He was speaking at the Sadbhavna Sammelan' in Rohtak late on on Monday evening.
