#1 Serious questions raised on the functioning of opposition parties and protests
Criticizing the marches and protests being taken out by the opposition, the BJP MLA said that the opposition no longer has any concrete issue related to the public, hence they are only working to spread anarchy. He alleged that making such statements against people and institutions holding constitutional positions and doing pressure politics by taking to the streets is not at all good for the healthy development of democracy.
He said that the people of the country are watching everything and in the coming times, the public will completely reject such people. The MLA stressed that there is rule of law in the country and anyone who tries to take law and order into his own hands should not be spared. After his statement, the war of words between political parties has intensified at the local level also.

After this sharp statement of Nandkishore Gurjar, leaders of opposition parties have also started retaliating. Opposition leaders say that the ruling party leaders have no other option but to make such unrestrained statements to hide their failures. It is the fundamental right of every political party and citizen to protest for public rights and express their views through democratic means, to suppress which this type of language is being used.
In the coming days, more conflict may be seen on political forums regarding this statement. While on one hand BJP supporters are linking this stand of the MLA with national interest and discipline, on the other hand opposition parties are calling it a direct attack on freedom of expression.
