At the yatra, organised to condole the ‘brutal’ killings of Kanhaiya Lal in Rajasthan and Umesh Kolhe in Maharashtra, Mr. Kumar said that no one can threaten, defeat and divide India in the present time.

“Some anti-national, Jihadi forces are trying to disturb the peace and communal harmony of this country. But let me tell them, they won’t succeed. I want to tell all individuals and organisations with Islamic mindset and some countries that India will run on the basis of the Constitution and not the Sharia,” said Mr. Kumar.

He blamed the State government in Rajasthan and the former Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in Maharashtra for the killings of Kanhaiya Lal and Umeh Kolhe. “It was because the governments in these States ignored the continuous threats that the two were killed so brutally,” he said.
