Freedom is everybody's right: VK Singh

Will they be proud today of the manner in which you are using your freedom? the former Army chief asked.

New Delhi: Wading into the Jinnah row, Union minister V.K. Singh on Sunday said those Muslims, who supported the presence of Pakistan founder’s portrait in the AMU, were insulting their forefathers, who had rejected his ideology.

Singh said, “If you are not a Muslim but support the portrait’s presence because you think that protests against it curbs your freedom, then you should think if you would like on the walls of your house a picture of somebody whose hands are stained with the blood of your own people” Without a doubt, freedom is everybody’s right. But we tend to forget that how many great people shed their blood in achieving it. Will they be proud today of the manner in which you are using your freedom? the former Army chief asked.
