NEW DELHI: Strongly reacting to the controversial public remarks made by activist Neha Bora, who extended a “red salute” to youth agitations in Bangladesh and drew comparisons aimed at instigating unrest against India’s constitutional governance, Amb. Dr. Rajeev Menon, National Secretary General of the Republican Party of India (Athawale), has formally appealed to the Union Home Minister to take immediate cognizance and initiate stringent legal action, including her arrest under the National Security Act (NSA).
Amb. Dr. Rajeev Menon stated that attempting to draw parallels between violent foreign unrest and India’s vibrant constitutional framework is a deliberate attempt to incite subversion and disrupt domestic peace. He emphasized that romanticizing street-level insurrections and calling for regime-change tactics on Indian soil directly jeopardizes national integrity and public order.
“India stands as the world’s most resilient democracy, rooted in Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s Constitution and advancing under the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Those who glorify mob violence that targeted governance institutions in Bangladesh and attempt to plant similar unrest in India are a tragedy for this nation,” Amb. Dr. Rajeev Menon asserted. “If individuals harbor such deep contempt for India’s democratic mandates and prefer lawlessness, they should step away from Indian soil and live in Bangladesh instead of poisoning the minds of Indian youth.”
Concluding his statement, Amb. Dr. Rajeev Menon reiterated that free speech cannot be weaponized to threaten the sovereign security of the republic. He urged central law enforcement agencies to take uncompromising, exemplary action under the National Security Act against such provocative narratives to ensure that no anti-national design is permitted to disturb the peaceful fabric of 140 crore Indians.
