Children sleep leaning on their mothers' bodies lying on the streets without even a single meal, the Prime Minister's friends like the Adanis stealing into and squandering the national wealth and pretending to be the richest men in the world by showing off through frauds in the stock market and now standing with horns broken, the Chief Ministers and the Governors of the states are lying there hugging and kissing, squandering public money! The people know full well that there has been no governance in India for a long time, only holding the throne and embezzling money. Whose Republic is this, and whose Republic Day is this? It is upsetting to see the same anti-republican forces that are preparing to overthrow India's democratic secular republic and establish a Hindu nationalist state celebrating the country’s Republic Day. The people feel utter contempt when they see the judiciary, parliament, and legislative assemblies standing idly by, speechless and numb, while the whole world is watching.

Their question is, if the Supreme Court of India has written a verdict that Narendra Modi and the BJP played no role in the Gujarat riots, that no women were victims of gang rape and subsequent murder, and that there is no evidence for it, then what right the world has to write a verdict that he is a genocider, lining up evidence they collected in their own investigations! The question from the other side is, what position and standing does the Indian judiciary have in the world judiciary as a judiciary, which completely acquitted all of those who were proven in their crimes with evidence and statements, for facilitating them to continue with trying to establish the BJP's Hindu Rashtra in India. Tell us: whose Republic is this- ours or theirs?
