Our heart is injured, conscience is crying, soul is seeking accountability, says VP

Jagdeep Dhankhar today termed the violence committed against a health warrior on August 9th as barbarity expressed in extremity, shaming entire humanity. Addressing students and faculty members at AIIMS Rishikesh today, he said that such barbaric incidents put the entire civilization to shame and shreds what Bharat stands for.

Lamenting over the usage of the term ‘symptomatic malaise’ by some stray voices, Shri Dhankhar said such statements aggravates our excruciating pain and adds salt to our injured conscience.

“When humanity has been shamed, there are some stray voices, voices that cause concern. They only aggravate our excruciating pain. To put it mildly they are adding salt to our injured conscience and what do they say "it is a symptomatic malaise, a frequent incident. When it comes from someone who is the Member of Parliament, a senior advocate, then the culpability is of extreme degree. There can be no alibi for such kind of demonising thoughts. I Call upon such misguided souls to revisit their thoughts and publicly tender apology. This is not an occasion where you should be looking through political prism. This political prism is a dangerous one, it kills your objectivity”, he added.
