New Delhi, 19 October 2022: Following Delhi CM’s comparison of Shaheed Bhagat Singh to Deputy CM Sisodia, East Delhi MP Gautam Gambhir has strongly criticised his comments stating that for mere political gains, AAP chief was demeaning freedom fighters.
Recently, Manish Sisodia was summoned by CBI for alleged corruption in the Liquor Policy Scam, when Kejriwal compared Shaheed Bhagat Singh to the minister.
Hitting out on the comment, MP Gambhir stated, “Bhagat Singh is an ideal of crores of youths like me. He is my power, my crown. Just like Mahatma Gandhi cannot be compared to anyone, similarly Bhagat Singh cannot be compared to anyone.”
“I want to ask the Delhi chief minister to refrain from equating Bhagat Singh with anyone. One should run for office based on their own abilities. Shaheed Bhagat Singh is more powerful than any role or chair. I kindly ask everyone to refrain from comparing Shaheed Bhagat Singh for political benefit, regardless of who is the Delhi chief minister or who other politicians are,” he further criticised.
AAP’s Leader, Arvind Kejriwal had said the Manish Sisodia and Satyendra Jain were equivalents of the Shaheed Bhagat Singh. Bhagat Singh’s intentions could not be stopped by prison walls or a hanging rope. “It is after 75 years, the nation finally had a minister of education who could provide the underprivileged with a quality education and hope for the future. Countless poor people are praying for you,” he added.
