Sanjay Raut warned against corruption, dictatorship and nepotism in India in view of ongoing protests in Nepal. He claimed that people in India are calm because of Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violent ideology and the Modi government rests on this foundation.

Amid widespread protests against corruption in Nepal, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) MP Sanjay Raut on Wednesday warned of a similar incident in India. Raut alleged that the fire that has started in Nepal against corruption, dictatorship and nepotism can also flare up in India, but the reason for non-violence is that people believe in Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violent ideology. He alleged that the Narendra Modi-led government is alive only because of Gandhi’s ideology.

Raut told ANI that if this spark comes to India, then India is a great country, India which is alive till date only because Mahatma Gandhi was born here, people still believe in Gandhi, that’s why these people are alive. No matter how much you abuse Gandhi, Modiji, your government is alive only because of Gandhi’s ideology. He said that Prime Minister Modi gives free ration to 80 crore people, what does it mean? The poor are still there, same was the case in Nepal.

India’s money is going abroad. Someone’s son is sitting in Dubai, someone’s son is in Singapore, someone has become a cricket chairman.

He accused the central government of failure in foreign policy, saying that India did not help its neighbor when it needed it the most. He said that Nepal was once our friend, Nepal considered India as a big brother, when Nepal faced crisis, then big brother did not stand with them, this is the failure of our foreign policy. The youth here today seems silent, there is unemployment, there are many problems. Earlier on September 9, Raut had reposted a video of a protest march in Nepal by students chanting slogans.

The Nepali Army has arrested 27 people involved in looting, arson and other violent activities during the ongoing Gen-Z-led protests across Nepal, including the capital Kathmandu, The Himalayan Times reported earlier today. The arrests were made between 10pm on Tuesday and 10am on Wednesday, as security forces were deployed across the country to control the ongoing protests. Security personnel also deployed three fire tenders to douse the fire that broke out during the disturbance.

In Kathmandu’s Gaushala-Chabahil-Buddha corridor, authorities recovered 3.37 million Nepalese rupees worth of stolen cash from the suspects.
