Big victory for trading community after Rashtriya Vyapari Mahasammelan -Goel

 
New Delhi, July 5, 2019: Rajya Sabha MP and former BJP Delhi President Vijay Goel thanked Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman on pension scheme for shopkeeper and said that the trading community has heartily welcomed the announcement. Finance Minister announced in her speech today that under the new scheme Pradhan Mantri Karam Yogi Maandhan, the Centre would provide pension benefits to traders and small shopkeepers.

The enrolment into the scheme has also been kept simple for the convenience of traders: only a bank account and Aadhar would be required, rest would be on self-declaration.
 
Goel said that the trading community is enthusiastic about the new pension scheme.

Goel said that the sound economic policy of the Modi government has turned India’s into $2.7 trillion economy from $1.8 trillion five years ago. In the mere five-year duration, India has become 6th largest economy in the world from the 11th position earlier.

He said the initiative of turning 17 iconic tourist sites into the world-class destinations would generate new employment opportunities.

Role of Delhi Minister Imran Hussain should be probed
Police refuted claims of Imran Hussain 

New Delhi, July 4, 2019: MP and former BJP Delhi President Vijay Goel demanded the probe into the role of Delhi Minister Imran Hussain in Chandni Chowk temple desecration.
 
Goel said that the information received from several videos and local people reveal how a parking incident was escalated to communal tension by Delhi Minister Imran Hussain.
 
Vijay Goel, MP Parvesh Verma, MP Hansraj Hans and Standing Committee Chairman Jai Prakash would meet Delhi Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik over the communal flare-up in the old city and would file a complaint against Imran Hussain for provoking the mob that led to the stone-pelting at the century-old Durga Mata Mandir.
 
Goel, who has twice been the Lok Sabha MP from Chandni Chowk, said that the only person responsible for turning a parking fight into communal tension is Minister Imran Hussain of the Kejriwal government. Goel said that the police had refuted the claim of Imran Hussain that he was called by the DCP and SHO to come to the police station. Both the officers have clearly denied that neither of them had asked him to come.
 
Goel asked the police to probe whether the incident was a conspiracy to flare communal passion for narrow political interests because it is in public domain that Imran had gathered the mob at the Hauz Qazi police station and only then the stone-pelting at Durga Mata temple began. The situation would have not come to such a pass had this not happened in the first place.
 
Goel questioned the need for making a false claim. What was Hussain’s objective behind arriving at the spot? When the anti-national slogans were raised up in the JNU in the presence of President Kanhaiya, the action was taken against the people involved. Similarly, if Delhi Minister is found provoking the mob openly then action must be taken against him as well.
 
Goel said that the Aam Aadmi Party had been vitiating the communal atmosphere in Delhi; six examples in this regard are mentioned below.
 
Goel said that since Imran Hussain has not filed the complaint against him and MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa, the police must probe all the aspects and facts thoroughly.
 
Incidents
October 2015: Aam Aadmi Party MLA Aseem Ahmed Khan was sacked from the party, after he was found seeking bribe of Rs 6 lakh from a builder, but today he is the president of Delhi State Haj Committee. 
March 2016: Arvind Kejriwal himself supported the Tukde-Tukde Gang which raised anti-India slogans in the JNU. The Kejriwal government refused to give permission to Delhi police to file a chargesheet against the gang involved in the sedition case. 
July 2016: The criminal arrested in the Malerkotla Quran sacrilege incident accused Aam Aadmi Party MLA Naresh Yadav of paying him Rs 1 crore to hatch the conspiracy in order to create tension between two communities. 
February 2018: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had remained silent for a long time in the Ankit Saxena murder case. After a long period of one and a half years, kins of Saxena received the compensation only at the time when the Kejriwal government decided to send assistance to the family of Tabrez Ansari in Jharkhand. This was done to secure the vote bank. 
January 2019: In the run-up to Lok Sabha polls in Delhi, the Kejriwal government hiked the salaries of Imams of Delhi Waqf board from Rs 10,000/month to Rs 18,000/month in order to seek support from a specific section of society. 

May 2019: CM Kejriwal even chose to remain silent in the Dhruv Tyagi murder case; only when the adverse media reports came out in public, the Tyagi family received compensation.

Shun politics of appeasement – Goel
Imran Hussain involved in Durga temple attack, Goel demands action 
New Delhi, July 3, 2019: Targeting the Kejriwal government, Rajya Sabha MP and former BJP Delhi President Vijay Goel said today that following the attack on Mata Durga temple in Chandni Chowk, while he was touring Lal Kua area yesterday, July 2, the local people informed him that it was Delhi Minister for Food and Civil Supplies Imran Hussain who deliberately gave communal color to a parking fight.
 
Goel said the involvement of Imran Hussain in the attack on temple raises several questions as Delhi Chief Minister has also chosen to remain silent on the entire episode. Goel said this is not the first time that the Kejriwal government and the AAP leaders are indulging the politics of appeasement for their vested interests. Even in the case of Ankit Saxena, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had remained silent for a long time. After a long period of one and a half years, kins of Saxena received the compensation only at the time when the Kejriwal government decided to send assistance to the family of Tabrez Ansari in Jharkhand. This was done to secure their vote bank. Similarly, even in the Dhruv Tyagi murder case, CM Kejriwal chose to remain silent and it was only later when the media reports came out that the Tyagi family received compensation.
 
Goel said that the Kejriwal government has been practicing the politics of appeasement from day one. In 2016, the criminal arrested in the Malerkotla Quran sacrilege incident accused Aam Aadmi Party MLA Naresh Yadav of paying him Rs 1 crore to hatch the conspiracy in order to create tension between two communities. In fact, Arvind Kejriwal himself has supported the Tukde-Tukde Gang which was found to be raising anti-India slogans in the JNU. The Delhi government refused to give permission to Delhi police to file chargesheet against the gang involved in the 2016 sedition case. Even in the run-up to Lok Sabha polls in Delhi, the Kejriwal government hiked the salaries of Imams of Delhi Waqf board from Rs 10,000/month to Rs 18,000/month in order to seek support from a specific section of the society.
 

Goel demanded strict, immediate action against Imran Hussain for its role in the attack on Mata Durga temple of Chandni Chowk. He advised CM Kejriwal to shun the appeasement politics and adopt Modi Ji’s mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”.
