BJP chief Nitin Naveen attacks Congress over ‘anarchy’ in Rohtak march
The Story in Brief
BJP national president Nitin Naveen led a ‘Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao’ (Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy) march in Rohtak, Haryana, on Sunday, 1 November, accusing the Congress of insulting public opinion. The march was part of a series of such events across the country, including in Delhi and Shimla. Naveen offered floral tributes at a Mahatma Gandhi statue before the march, which saw participation from hundreds of BJP workers.
According to TV9 Hindi, Naveen also attacked the Congress over the 1984 anti-Sikh riots during his speech in Rohtak. The march in Delhi was led by Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri, while Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma attended the Shimla event. RLD leader Jayant Chaudhary was also present at the Rohtak march.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Amar Ujala’s report frames the march around Naveen’s charge that the Congress is ‘insulting public opinion’, leading with his criticism of a Congress protest in Delhi. TV9 Hindi adds a sharper attack: Naveen brought up the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, a detail Amar Ujala omits. The two outlets agree on the core facts, the march, its theme and the locations, but diverge on which part of Naveen’s speech to highlight. The combined picture shows the BJP using a national march series to counter the Congress while also reviving a historical grievance against it.
TV9 Hindi notes that the marches were held in Delhi, Shimla and Rohtak, and names the leaders who led each one.
