Appeasement politics led to ruins of our heritage: PM Modi at Sabarmati Ashram

Hindustan Times  

The past governments in India formed after Independence had no political will to maintain the country’s heritage sites due to appeasement and a foreign mindset, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday. The Sabarmati Ashram is not only a heritage for the country but for the entire mankind…The Sabarmati Ashram has become a pilgrimage not only for our freedom movement but also for ‘Viksit Bharat’,” he said. Reacting to the PM’s charges, Congress spokesperson Manish Doshi said, “The BJP accuses the governments post-Independence over the encroachments of heritage sites, but will they clarify under which government did the encroachment of Sabarmati Ashram occur? Why did the BJP, under chief minister Narendra Modi in Gujarat, did little to stop the encroachment of heritage sites in the state?” Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister laid foundation stone and dedicated to the nation several developmental projects worth over ₹1,06,000 crores in Ahmedabad.
