Delhi: Shashank, a 12-year-old boy was picked up from Rajouri Garden on Friday for reportedly inciting communal violence and harbouring hateful thoughts for the India’s Next Prime Minister, Sri Narendra Modi.
Shashank’s teacher, who first came forward with more details about what transpired before the incident, said “He (Shashank) was a good kid, but he was under some very bad influence. He was very keen on understanding what a democracy was and what it meant for the nation to be called the world’s largest democracy. I thought… I thought he would come around, but…” she sobbed, “I never thought he would go this far.”
His mother broke down and told our reporter “When he woke up, he came to me and said he had a dream about Sri Narendra Modi. I was very proud of him, and glad that we had just bought the new NaMo 3d Hologramâ„¢. But then… then he said he was at a Sri BJP Rally and that he… he… he didn’t want to go”. His father added, “We knew we had to report him. We love our son, but Bhaarat humko jaan se pyaara hai”.
Sri Sri Sriram Ramsri, a local Sri BJP supporter, added the following insight “This is a congress conspiracy. The Gujarat model of development is impeccable. Modi did not cause the 2002 riots. Why don’t we talk about the 1984 riots? News channels are bought by congress”. After being reminded that this news coverage wasn’t anti-modi, he added “Abki Baar Modi Sarkaar”.
A prominent Congress activist, Mr. R.T.Indernojeet, added, “This is an issue of governance. We need women’s empowerment & accountable governance. The prime minister is conspiring against young people of the country. This is not about free speech. Free speech is a state of mind. Independence is in your shirt, pants, socks, jeans. Hair also”. Mr. Indernojeet was later called to be an extremist nutcase by the local RSS leader.
