Rampur
: Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Friday termed protests by Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the OROP issue as a -"political drama-" and a -"conspiracy-" to demoralise the county's security forces.
Accusing Congress and AAP of forgetting national interest for -"narrow-" gains, he dubbed both the leaders as -"passwords of political drama-" and warned that their politics over the pension issue will -"wipe out-" their -"remaining-" political base.
-"...Those people who have forgotten national interest for their narrow political interests have also forgotten that their act will lead to wipe out of their remaining political base,-" Union Minister of State for Minority Affairs, Naqvi, during 'Run for Unity' rally here, said.
-"First they raised questions on surgical strikes, then on killing of SIMI terrorists, now they are trying to create confusion over OROP,-" he said.
Naqvi's remarks came in the wake of protests by Rahul Gandhi and Kejriwal in Delhi after 70-year-old ex-serviceman Ram Kishan Grewal allegedly committed suicide over OROP.
He alleged that -"certain political forces-" have -"eschewed-" national interests for -"nefarious-" political gains.
The Union minister said -"such forces-" should rise from -"short-sighted attitude-" and support the government's efforts to safeguard the borders and create peaceful and congenial atmosphere in the country.
Naqvi claimed that -"terror forces-" have been isolated at the global-level with the entire world strongly opposing -"evil-" elements.
During the rally, Naqvi also administered pledge to attendees asking them to preserve unity and integrity of the nation.
