VHP slams Jamiat’s Arshad Madani over his ‘Manu worshipped Allah’ remark

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The VHP on Sunday hit out at Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind chief Maulana Arshad Madani over his claim that “Om” and “Allah” were the same God worshipped by ‘Manu’, saying his remarks have exposed his “real” mindset.
The remarks by Madani at an event organised to promote amity drew objections from a prominent Jain monk who stormed off the stage along with a group of other religious leaders.
“Was it a ‘Sadbhavna Sammelan’ or a gathering of Jamiat’s poisonous group?” Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) national spokesperson Vinod Bansal said in a video statement, reacting sharply to Madani’s remarks.
The way Madani tried to assert “his supremacy and that of Islam” with his comment in the presence of “Hindu dharma gurus” at the event exposed his real “mindset and character”, Bansal charged,
“You talk about religion and indulge in sinful acts. Shame on you… The mindset of this Jamiat’s gathering will now have to be driven away from this country,” Bansal said.
In a tweet in Hindi, Bansal alleged that an attempt was made to attack the Jain monk at the “Jamiat’s forum” and demanded that Delhi Police take action in the matter.
“Attempt to murderous attack Jain Acharya Lokesh Muni Ji Maharaj at Jamiat Forum is very serious and condemnable. @DelhiPolice should immediately arrest the culprits and his associates,” the VHP leader said.
जैन आचार्य लोकेश मुनि जी महाराज के ऊपर जमीयत के मंच पर जानलेवा हमला करने की कोशिश बेहद गंभीर और निंदनीय है। @DelhiPolice sud immediately arrest the culprits and his associates..

Resentment in SP over Maurya’s remark on Ramcharitmanas

[ad_1]
Lucknow: The controversy sparked off by senior SP leader Swami Prasad Maurya on the allegedly objectionable verses from Ramcharitmanas, has now started boomeranging on the Samajwadi Party itself.
Upper caste legislators in SP have started raising objections to Maurya’s statement and have even threatened to quit the party if action is not taken against Swami Prasad Maurya.
Rakesh Pratap Singh, MLA from Amethi, said, “Whether I remain in politics or not, whether I remain a legislator or not and whether I get a ticket or not, I will not remain quiet when my religion is questioned.”
He said that anyone who makes objectionable comments on Sanatan Dharma, cannot be a Samajwadi.
“One who makes unpardonable remarks on Lord Ram also cannot be a Samajwadi. Only a mentally unstable person can make such remarks,” he said.
He said he would continue to oppose those who make such comments against Lord Ram and Lord Krishna.
SP spokesman Roli Mishra Tiwari has also voiced her opposition to Maurya’s statement. She has demanded action against Swami Prasad Maurya.
“I am a Brahmin and a follower of Sanatan Dharma and will not accept what Maurya has said. I was quiet because I thought he was speaking in his personal capacity but now it seems that this is the party’s official stand,” she said.

Mishra, who is being trolled for her statement, has sought protection from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, fearing an attack on her.
She tweeted that a large group of chaotic elements are attacking her on social media for coming out in support of Ramcharitmanas.
“I am apprehensive of any physical attack on me. I have two small girls and my husband is posted at the border. I need protection,” she tweeted.
Both the leaders claim that they are upset because they have realized that the party leadership is now backing Maurya on the controversy.
“It is clear that the party leadership sees a casteist benefit in the issue and has no qualms about insulting religion,” they said.

‘Guidance for us’: UP DyCM Maurya on RSS chief’s remark on caste system

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, a prominent OBC face of the BJP in the state, on Monday said RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s comment on the caste system in Hindu society is a “guidance for us”.
Addressing an event in Mumbai on Sunday, Bhagwat has said everyone is equal in the eyes of God and no caste or sect exists before him.
All these things were created by priests which is wrong, he had said.
“I am a Swayamsevak (volunteer) of the RSS and when our revered Sarsanghchalak (RSS chief) says something, we consider it a ‘margdarshan’ (guidance) for us,” Maurya told PTI in the Parliament House Complex when asked about Bhagwat’s remarks.
He, however, refused to make any further comment. “It will be inappropriate for me to make any comment on the remarks of the revered Sarsanghchalak.”
Opposition leaders, however, targeted the RSS and the ruling BJP, saying Bhagwat’s statement should reflect in the action and work culture of his outfit and that of BJP governments.
“Mohan Bhagwat’s statement is just a statement. One can relish it when it reflects in your actions and work culture. It’s not seen in your work culture. (Centre is) sitting on the caste census,” RJD’s Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Jha told PTI when asked for a reaction to the RSS chief’s comment.
He asked Bhagwat to enforce a culture that could end “caste atrocities and inequality” in the country.

“In the sea of inequality, you have made five islands of prosperity. One of the islands is Hindenburg, which is exposing the government a bit. End that,” the RJD leader said, apparently demanding that the RSS chief ensure that action is taken against allegations of financial fraud against the Adani Group.
The business giant has rejected all allegations made by the US-based short seller.
Reacting to Bhagwat’s remark, Congress MP Digvijay Singh sought to know from the RSS chief which of the Hindu scriptures are “lying” about the existence of cast system.
“He has said the scriptures are lying. We want to ask Mohan Bhagwat which of the scriptures are lying,” the Congress leader told PTI when asked for his reaction on the RSS chief’s remark.
BJP MP from Rajasthan’s Alwar Balak Nath termed Bhagwat’s remark “truth” and alleged it is the Congress which divides people on the lines of caste for political gains.
“He (Bhagwat) has talked about Sanatan. There is no mention of any caste system in Sanatan. People brought in the caste system based on their work,” he told PTI when asked for his comment.
Bhagwat’s reflections on Sanatan dharma and the caste system is “absolutely correct”, he said.
“It’s the Congress which has been pitting people against each other on the lines of castes, creating division in the society, for power politics, taking cue from the Mughals and the British. The BJP has united India,” he added.

Disagree with Digvijaya Singh’s remark on surgical strikes: Rahul

[ad_1]
Jammu: Former Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday categorically rejected party veteran Digvijaya Singh’s remark on the 2019 surgical strikes.
While addressing a press conference here, the Gandhi scion — spearheading the Bharat Jodo yatra — said that the party completely trusts the Army and there is no need of any proof on it.
“Do not agree with Digvijaya Singh’s statement, we have full trust in our Army if it does something there is no need to give proof. I personally disagree with him and this is also official position of the party”, he said.
Congress, on Monday, had distanced itself from Singh’s comments on Pulwama, including on the surgical strikes, terming his statement “personal”.
“The views expressed by senior leader Digvijaya Singh are his own and do not reflect the position of Congress. Surgical strikes were carried out before 2014 by UPA government. Congress has supported & will continue to support all military actions that are in the national interest,” Congres General Secretary, in charge of communication, Jairam Ramesh said.
Digvijaya Singh, during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, targeted the Union government, alleging that it gave no proof of surgical strikes though it claimed to have killed many terrorists.

After ‘Who is Shahrukh Khan?’ remark, Assam CM gets call from SRK

[ad_1]
Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan talked to him over the phone early on Sunday and expressed concern over a protest against his new film ‘Pathaan’ in the city.
Sarma assured the actor that his government will enquire about the demonstration against the movie and ensure that “no such untoward incidents” would occur again.
The development comes a day after the CM had said “who is Shahrukh Khan? I don’t know anything about him or his film Pathaan”, while responding to queries by reporters about the violent protest by Bajrang Dal activists, who stormed a theatre at Narengi in the city on Friday, where the film is slated to be screened.
The far right-wing group’s volunteers tore down the film’s posters and burnt them.
“Bollywood actor Shri @iamsrk called me and we talked today morning at 2 am. He expressed concern about an incident in Guwahati during screening of his film. I assured him that it’s duty of state govt to maintain law & order. We’ll enquire and ensure no such untoward incidents,” Sarma said on Twitter.
Notably, the CM had on Saturday said action would be taken if law and order is violated, though Khan had not called him over the matter.
Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan and the movie Pathaan’ are facing a backlash from far-right Hindutva’ groups for showing Deepika Padukone in a saffron bikini in a song ‘Besharam Rang’.
Many leaders, including those in the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, have demanded a ban on the film.

Pathaan’, which has been directed by Siddharth Anand, will be released on January 25.
