'Secure Borders, Not Suppress Protests': Abhijeet Dipke Slams PM Modi
CJP activist Abhijeet Dipke alleges PM Modi is risking national security by using forces to suppress protests instead of guarding borders.
In a scathing critique of the central government's security strategy, Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) activist Abhijeet Dipke has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of compromising national security. Dipke alleges that the government is prioritizing the suppression of internal dissent over the critical task of safeguarding India's borders.
Forces Used Against Citizens, Not Intruders
Taking to the social media platform X, Abhijeet Dipke expressed his concern over the deployment of security forces within the capital. He argued that turning Delhi into a "fortress" to prevent citizens from exercising their right to peaceful protest is a dangerous diversion of resources.
"Yeah, because forces that should be protecting our borders are being deployed to stop citizens from protesting. Modi is putting national security at risk by using security forces against his own countrymen," Dipke wrote.
He further emphasized that the government's primary focus should remain on the integrity of the nation's frontiers rather than policing its own people.
Rising Concerns Over China and Border Tensions
Dipke's comments emerge amidst a broader political storm regarding India's relations with China. Earlier, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh leveled serious allegations against the Centre, claiming that the Prime Minister and his administration have maintained a "deafening silence" regarding border tensions in Arunachal Pradesh.
Ramesh pointed out a contradiction in the official narrative, noting that while the Director General of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) praised the force's performance during recent face-offs with the People's Liberation Army (PLA), the political leadership has remained quiet. He described the government's approach as "calibrated concessions" to China.
Demand for Accountability
Adding to the pressure, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi demanded immediate transparency from the top brass of the government. She called upon the Union Home Minister, Defence Minister, and External Affairs Minister to address the growing concerns over India's strategic approach toward China.
Speaking to ANI, Chaturvedi questioned the government's attempt to project a normalization of ties with China while reports of border instabilities persist.
"Given that this concerns the nation’s security, its sensitive interests, and the national interest, those responsible must be held accountable," Chaturvedi asserted, insisting that the ministers responsible for national safety must provide clear answers to the public.
