RSS national executive member Indresh Kumar on Thursday urged climate activist Sonam Wangchuk to keep his agitation "Indian" after Wangchuk ended his hunger strike. Kumar alleged that "foreign forces" had taken over the movement and warned young people against becoming "agents" of anti-national elements. Speaking to reporters, Kumar said Wangchuk and the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) were different entities and alleged that the latter was working as an "agency of foreign forces". He also cautioned political parties against encouraging anti-national activities for political gain. Read Full Story "These are separate in nature. Sonam Wangchuk is one person, and the CJP is totally different. Political parties too have different agendas. They have mixed it together to defame everyone's character. That is why Sonam Wangchuk has distanced himself from it," Kumar said. He added, "I would say that he should understand that his movement has been taken over by foreigners. Therefore, he should keep his movement Indian. He should not become a puppet of foreigners." Alleging that the CJP was acting on behalf of foreign interests, he said, "I would tell the young people who come there to be cautious.
Do not become the puppets or agents of those who betray the country and deceive the nation." Kumar said attempts were being made to "spoil the atmosphere of positive politics" in the country. Referring to Wangchuk ending his fast, he claimed that Opposition parties had first raised the issue of the NEET examination and later diverted the movement for political purposes. Without offering evidence, he also alleged that the agitations were backed by "internal and external forces" that did not want India to emerge as a developed, prosperous and educated nation. "I want to tell the youth gathered there that one thing must be clear now – there are some internal and external powers that do not want India to become a developed nation. India is progressing on the path of peace, harmony, development and education, and those who cannot see this progress try to derail it," he alleged. He urged young people to play a constructive role in nation-building and support India's development, saying the country had emerged as a "global role model" through innovation and thousands of start-ups.
Claiming that India had earned unprecedented global recognition in recent years, Kumar said, "If all the countries of the world have awarded the highest honours to any country, it is India. No one has given such honours to the US, Russia, the Arab world or England. India is emerging as a role model for the world, and everyone should cooperate with the government." The RSS leader also accused Pakistan of continuing to sponsor violence in India after the recent killing of a police constable. "Pakistan continues to indulge in such conspiracies. Pakistan neither wants to live in peace nor let others live peacefully. It continues to pursue such activities every day," he said. He also claimed that Pakistan was suppressing its own people, including Pashtuns, Ahmadis and Kashmiris, and said it should work towards peace, harmony and development instead of trying to destabilise India. Speaking on the sidelines of a programme organised ahead of Kargil Vijay Diwas, Kumar paid tribute to civilians, police personnel and armed forces members who had laid down their lives since Partition.
