Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma lambasted the Congress
central leadership in Madhya Pradesh over the Sanatan Dharma row.
He stated that Bharat does not belong to Babar and challenged
former Chief Minister Kamal Nath to prove his devotion to Lord Hanuman by
setting 10 Janpath on fire, similar to how Hanuman set Lanka ablaze.
During the Jan Ashirwad rally in Vidhisha district, CM Himanta addressed
DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin’s remarks calling for the eradication of Sanatan
Dharma.
The Assam CM highlighted the statements made by members of the
Opposition’s INDI Alliance, equating the Hindu religion to diseases like
malaria.
He criticised the Congress party for making such statements despite
knowing that the majority of the country’s population is Hindu.
CM Himanta challenged Rahul Gandhi to remove those individuals from
his party who make derogatory statements against Hinduism, suggesting that by
doing so, Gandhi can become a leader respected by Hindus.
He challenged Kamal Nath, urging him to burn 10 Janpath if he truly
considered himself a devotee of Hanuman and wanted to take a stand against
those who attacked Hinduism.
In Madhya Pradesh, the Congress party has been adopting a Hindutva
approach to defend itself against attacks from the BJP, which has consistently
portrayed it as an anti-Hindu party.
This includes the State president and Chief Minister face Kamal
Nath presenting himself as a devotee of Hanuman, organising religious events,
and erecting a large Hanuman idol in his political stronghold of Chhindwara.
CM Himanta expressed concern about the Congress party’s impact on
the Hindu society, questioning why the Ram Mandir was not built during their
rule.
He pointed out that Kamal Nath, who claims to be a devotee of
Hanuman, should have prioritised the construction of the temple in Ayodhya
during his time as a minister in Delhi.
He said, “You should not have to wait for Narendra Modi. We removed
Babar and today a Ram Mandir is made, Hindu is happy and Muslim is happy. These
Hanuman bhakts are scared of Babar.”
He further added, “Our demand is only one, this nation is of Ram,
Lakshman, Sita. This is not Babar’s nation, and in Ram Janmabhoomi, Babar’s
masjid won’t exist. There are many lands in India to make a masjid, but in Ram’s
land only Ram Lala will sit, no one else will sit.”
