Shimla, July 24 (IANS) Himachal Pradesh BJP President Rajeev Bindal on Friday accused the Congress party and its top central leadership of undermining democratic traditions and constitutional norms. He said instead of participating in discussions inside Parliament, Congress “is resorting to street politics, disruption, and confrontation to further its political agenda”.
Attempting to march towards the Prime Minister’s residence, laying siege to the BJP headquarters, and creating an atmosphere of violence are not acts of democracy but deliberate attempts to challenge constitutional institutions, Bindal told the media here.
He said the BJP-led Central government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is fully committed to safeguarding the future of the nation’s youth.
He announced that the government has taken another landmark decision to ensure that those involved in examination paper leaks receive swift and exemplary punishment.
“Fast-track courts will be established to hear all paper leak cases so that trials are completed expeditiously, and the guilty are awarded stringent punishment without delay. Necessary directions have already been issued to the concerned departments and authorities to implement this decision,” he said.
Bindal said this “is another significant step in the series of reforms being undertaken by the government to protect the interests of students”.
Reiterating the Prime Minister’s commitment, he said, “Anyone who attempts to jeopardise the future of our youth will not be spared.”
He said the BJP “stands firmly with students and is committed to ensuring fairness, transparency, and integrity in the examination system”.
Bindal said immediately after the paper leak came to light, the Central government handed over the matter to the CBI, arrested those responsible, conducted a re-examination, introduced comprehensive technological reforms in the examination system, and has now decided to establish fast-track courts.
“These measures send a clear message that the law will deal firmly with anyone attempting to compromise the future of students,” he said.
Launching a sharp attack on Congress, Bindal said that if the party was genuinely concerned about students, it would have participated in constructive discussions in Parliament and offered meaningful suggestions.
“Instead, it chose to disrupt Parliament, create disorder on the streets, and indulge in political theatrics,” he said.
Questioning Rahul Gandhi and the Congress leadership, Bindal asked, “Why did the Congress feel the need to march towards the Prime Minister’s residence? Why did it attempt to lay siege to the BJP headquarters? Has democratic protest now been reduced to attempts to breach high-security zones and create political confrontation?”
