Mumbai, September 4 (Daily Kiran) : Anand Dubey, spokesperson for Shiv Sena (UBT), has stated that if the Uttarakhand government does not take action regarding the Haldwani purification controversy, the only option left is to approach the courts. He emphasized that the government must address the issue seriously.
In an interview, Dubey referenced a meeting held by Mallikarjun Kharge at Ramleela Maidan in Haldwani, followed by a purification event on August 10. Despite objections from Kharge and the Congress party, no FIR or arrests were made. Dubey remarked, “If we don’t go to the High Court, where else can we go? If the local government does not listen, individuals are free to seek justice in court.”
He expressed the belief that the seriousness of the situation warrants appropriate justice from the Uttarakhand government.
On another note, responding to the refusal of 90 American leaders to accept funding from the RSS, Dubey stated, “It’s their choice. We cannot comment on their decision. The funding is from the RSS, and it is up to the American leaders to accept or decline it. We do not wish to politicize every issue. We simply want respect for Indian representatives abroad. If you cannot honor them, then do not insult them either. There is too much politics surrounding this matter.”
Regarding the Special Investigation Report (SIR) process, Dubey advocated for a more thorough review, noting that incorrect names have been removed in several states, including Maharashtra, where over two million names were cut. He insisted these names should be reinstated.
Commenting on External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar’s visit to Ukraine, Dubey highlighted the importance of dialogue in resolving conflicts. He stated, “India desires peace, especially given the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Jaishankar is meeting with the Ukrainian president, and we hope for safety for both nations, which would benefit the entire world. India seeks peace, as it is the land of Buddha, not war.”
Addressing another issue, Dubey expressed disappointment over a poor cyclist being humiliated to make way for a VVIP. He remarked that if the VVIP was in a hurry, they could have made a request instead of showcasing their power. This incident, he argued, illustrates the divide in India between the wealthy and the underprivileged. He noted that while Prime Minister Modi abolished the use of red beacons, misuse persists in many areas. He called for action against both the police officer and the VVIP involved in the incident.
