Ranchi, January 12 (IANS). Senior BJP leader Babulal Marandi has hit back at Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar’s Hindutva statement. He said that whether Congress MP Rahul Gandhi or Mani Shankar Aiyar, they neither understand Hindus nor can they understand Hindutva.
Speaking to IANS in Ranchi, Babulal Marandi said that the leaders of the Congress party neither understand Hindu religion nor know Hindutva. Even if they understand, they hide the truth like an ostrich that hides its head in the sand.
He said that there were Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh also. But, what is the situation today? Even today Hindus are killed in Bangladesh every day. Hindus were expelled from Pakistan by violence. If Hindus are not organized, there will always be a threat to Hindus and Hindutva, but the Congress leader does not see this. They start giving only their incomplete knowledge on Hindutva. Before giving knowledge, it is also necessary to acquire knowledge.
The BJP leader said that vote bank politics has blinded the Congress and that is why they cannot see anything.
Referring to the atrocities being committed against Hindus in Bangladesh, the BJP leader said that Congress leaders do not say anything on the issue of Bangladesh, do not even protest. Hindus are being killed there every day. Congress people have maintained silence. A Hindu calls wrong as wrong and never accepts it.
Referring to some characters of Ramayana, he said that Hindus never name their children after Ravana or Vibhishana because Hindus know how to tell wrong from wrong.
The BJP leader said that if Congress wants to understand Hindus and Hindutva, then it will have to go to every village. Be it Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar or Rahul Gandhi, they will never understand Hindus and Hindutva because their eyes are blindfolded by the vote bank.
On Raj Thackeray’s statement amid BMC elections in Mumbai, he said that the public has ousted him from power. Their political ground has ended, that is why they use such language. If the public is not supporting, then they are saying anything. The more he uses such language, the more his character will be exposed in front of the public. We will not get public support, we will just lose everything.
