Union Minister for Coal and Mines G. Kishan Reddy on Friday alleged that ‘certain malicious elements’ were conspiring to ‘incite attacks’ on Parliament and the Supreme Court, hoping to create a situation in India similar to the political turmoil witnessed in countries such as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal.He further claimed that ‘some Opposition forces’ within the country were ‘distressed’ by India’s progress, much like Pakistan and Bangladesh, which, he said, viewed India’s development with envy and anxiety at the National Tricolour Rally (Tiranga Yatra) organised by the Telangana BJP from the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar statue at Tank Bund to the Swami Vivekananda statue on the eve of Independence Day.The Union Minister alleged that people were aware of how certain political parties and what he termed ‘Tukde-Tukde gangs’ had behaved during the events surrounding Operation Sindoor, claiming that they appeared to ‘want Pakistan to succeed and India to fail’. “The people of the nation must reject the malicious politics of those who carry the Constitution in hand while engaging in anti-national conspiracies,” he said.
