Personal attacks have always left a bitter taste in my mouth, and recent actions by Madhya Pradesh Higher Education Minister, Inder Singh Parmar, have been deeply unsettling. His remarks, which have been widely reported in the press, have dishonored one of India’s most revered social reformers, Rammohun Roy. While many believe a mere apology should suffice, I strongly contend that such disrespect deserves more than a simple verbal concession.

Rammohun Roy has been an emblematic figure in our history, promoting social change and religious reforms at a time when India was shackled by customs that demeaned human rights. His tireless efforts paved the way for a more equitable society, and tarnishing his legacy is an affront to the values he championed.

The role of a Higher Education Minister is to uplift and educate, not spread misinformation about respected historical figures. Leaders must be held to the highest ethical standards, as their words can influence public perception and debase historical reverence. As a public figure, Parmar should know that his statements have far-reaching consequences and that he must be accountable for any misleading or damaging rhetoric.

By demanding his expulsion from the Madhya Pradesh Ministry, we are setting a precedent that modern India does not tolerate the vilification of its icons. This isn't simply about words; it's about safeguarding the truth and integrity of our history.

Join me in calling for the immediate resignation of Inder Singh Parmar to maintain the sanctity of our revered leaders’ legacies. Stand with us in our quest for accountability and justice. Please sign this petition to effect meaningful change.
