Accused in Alwar lynching are today's Bhagat Singh, says gau rakshak

April 20, 2017 08:50

Vipin Yadav, 19, may have been identified by the police in the video of the alleged April 1 assault on National Highway 8 which led to Pehlu Khans death and injured four others, but self-styled gau rakshak Sadhvi Kamal Didi, who met him while he was appearing for his annual examination under judicial custody, has termed him the Bhagat Singh and (Chandra Shekhar) Azad of today.

In a video of the meeting, the sadhvi was seen telling Yadav, Poora Bharat tere saath mein hai, aur hum apne desh mein aise kaam nahi karenge toh kahan karenge. Koi bhi toh na jhuke, aur na he tujhe kisi prakar ki chinta karne ki avashakta hai (The entire country is with you. If we wont do such things in our country then where else. One shouldnt give in. You shouldnt worry about anything), she said.

Turning to those present, the sadhvi then drew a parallel between Yadav and Bhagat Singh, Ye Bhagat Singh, [Chandra Shekhar] Azad, Sukhdev, ye hain, ye log. Inhone koi bhi galat nahi kiya, kisi prakar ka galat nahi karke gaye. (People like him are Bhagat Singh, Azad and Sukhdev. They did not do any wrong), she said to applause.
