New Delhi, Jan 28 (NationPress) BJP Rajya Sabha MP and national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi on Tuesday criticized the Congress party, alleging its aim is the eradication of Sanatan Dharma and the dismantling of Hinduism. He claimed that Mallikarjun Kharge's comments indicate the party's profound contempt for Indian culture and traditions.
In response to Congress chief's statements made during the 'Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan' rally in Mhow, Madhya Pradesh, Trivedi asserted that these remarks are emblematic of Congress' persistent opposition to Sanatan Dharma.
At the rally, Kharge questioned the significance of BJP leaders engaging in holy dips in the Ganga during the Maha Kumbh, suggesting that such actions fail to alleviate poverty, hunger, and other urgent concerns.
Trivedi denounced Kharge's apology for potentially offending sentiments, stating, 'Kharge's so-called apology demonstrates that these are not his true feelings but rather the Congress party's actual objective -- the eradication of Sanatan Dharma and the global dismantling of Hinduism. The Congress has once again showcased its inclination to make cheap and objectionable remarks about Indian culture and Sanatan Dharma.'
Emphasizing the economic significance of the Maha Kumbh, Trivedi remarked, 'This event is projected to generate an economy of ₹2.5 lakh crore, contributing nearly 1% to the GDP. Spiritual tourism has seen a 21.4% increase, alongside a rise in visa applications from international visitors, illustrating how profoundly the Maha Kumbh enriches India's economy and cultural identity.'
Trivedi also noted notable international participation, mentioning Lauren Powell, wife of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, as among the attendees. He added, 'Even amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict, sanyasis from both nations are gathering together, performing havans for world peace. Yet Congress seems incapable of accepting this.'
In response to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's recent criticisms of the media, Trivedi described these remarks as indicative of the party's 'panic' in light of electoral losses.
Rahul Gandhi had accused the media of neglecting critical issues facing farmers and the general populace due to its alleged control by business interests.
Trivedi countered, 'Rather than making unfounded accusations against the media, Rahul Gandhi should reflect on Congress' ongoing electoral setbacks. This tendency to blame others arises from the party's failure to confront its shortcomings.'
The BJP MP reiterated that Congress' criticisms of the Maha Kumbh and its leaders' spiritual practices showcase a lack of comprehension regarding the cultural and economic importance of such events.
