“When farmers faced the wrath of the weather and the police at the gates of the capital, you remained silent. When a Dalit girl was raped and murdered in Hathras, you remained silent. When the rapists of Bilkis Bano were released and your ideological brothers welcomed them, you remained silent. When Dalits were urinated on, you remained silent. When Pehlu Khan and Akhlaq were killed, you remained silent. When the links of Kanhaiya Lal’s killers with the BJP were revealed, you remained silent.

“Your silence and Narendra Modi have made you and the Sangh useless. You have been made useless by Amit Shah and the BJP. Your last chance was when BJP leaders were talking about amending the Constitution, you should have spoken out but you remained silent.

“What’s the point of talking now?” » asked Khera.

भागवत जी, याद है वह संत कबीर का दोहा

करता रहा सो क्यों किया, अब करी क्यों फ
बोये पेड़ बबूल का, अमुआ कहाँ से पाए ||

पर कहते हैं न

अब पछताए होत क्या जब चिड़िया चुग गई खेत। https://t.co/wWvXglskfp
