Uma Bharti asks Anna, Baba Ramdev not to insult Indian democratic system | Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Uma Bharti has requested veteran social activist Anna Hazare and yoga guru Baba Ramdev to present an alternative political system
before the country rather than insulting lawmakers and the entire democratic system.
"I would like to request both Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev to present an alternative
political system before the country, and till then, criticize the current federal
structure, but not insult it," said Bharti. On Tuesday, Baba Ramdev had said that
parliament consists of goons, corrupt, murderers, illiterates and urged people
to up the ante to protect the sanctity of the temple of democracy. "We have made
people who are demons in disguise to sit in parliament but they do not deserve
to hold these prestigious positions and be in power. But the system is still functioning
and we have also accepted these 543 people will run the country," he said. Baba
Ramdev, whose controversial remarks triggered anger among several lawmakers, however,
later defended his comments, saying it was not the first time that he has raised
the issue, and added that his statement was bothering only dishonest people. Hazare
had also came out in defence of Baba Ramdev, and said that the yoga guru was not
wrong in his remarks. "There is one thing that whatever Baba Ramdev has said is
not wrong. If it is wrong, there is proof against so many people today. When parties
give tickets, why they give it to tainted people," he asked.
