Chandigarh – Youth in Sri Lanka forced their government to flee the country. The youth in Bangladesh followed a similar path and toppled their government. Nepal’s youth also did the same and overthrew the ruling dispensation. On similar lines, a strategy must be devised in India to remove the present government, said Abhay Singh Chautala, National President of the Indian National Lok Dal, in a provocative statement. A video of Chautala speaking at an event in Haryana has gone viral, in which he is seen making these remarks.
