"Nationalism is a piece of nonsense. There is no need for a country that has been free for 70 years to suddenly shout about nationalism. Those who are raising this slogan today -- the ruling party -- were nowhere to be seen when India was fighting for freedom. They were fast asleep on their beds. So what are they shouting about now," Sehgal asked the audience on the concluding day of the WIC India Dehradun Communnity Literature Festival...

Sehgal alleged a "deal" to make people fall in line. She said that the ruling establishment wants everybody to agree with their ideology -- of Hindutva and of Hindutva of their definition -- and that all those who are in disagreement with this propagation is at the receiving end.

"We have a fascist regime in power. Muslims and minorities are being targeted," she added.

People like Nehru and Gandhi were jailed. People like Bhagat Singh were killed. People like Bose tried building the INA for taking on the British. What was the contribution of the chaddis to the freedom struggle? They did nothing.
