Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) leader and a strong critic of his own party's government, Shatrughan Sinha delivered a powerful speech at the launch of Rashtra Manch (National Forum) on Tuesday, 30 January. Rashtra Manch, an organisation he co-founded with fellow BJP leader Yashwant Sinha, aims to shed light on pressing issues of national consequence.
Speaking to The Quint's Neeraj Gupta, Shatrughan Sinha said:
The forum’s launch was attended by Trinamool Congress MP Dinesh Trivedi, Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari, AAP leader Ashutosh and ambassador KC Singh among others.
In his conversation with The Quint, Shatrughan Sinha said that a lot of people are worried because legislators from various political parties have come together to form Rashtra Manch. However, he added, there really is no reason for them to worry.
Shatrugan Sinha also pointed out that Rashtra Manch is "pro people."
On being asked if he is a rebel, Sinha answered, "If saying the truth is rebellion, then yes, I am a rebel."
