NEW DELHI: A video of Rahul Gandhi’s purported meeting with controversial Tamil Nadu pastor P George Ponnaiah sparked a row with BJP attacking the Congress leader for meeting the evangelist who was hauled up by high court for making anti-Hindu comments. He is seen deriding the concept of Shakti in the “interaction”.
In the video which went viral, Ponnaaiah is seen responding to the Congress leader’s question about whether Jesus was a form of God, saying, “Jesus is the real God. God reveals him(self) as a man, a real person...not like Shakti...so we see a human person.”
BJP circulated the video of the purported meeting which took place during Rahul’s tour of Tamil Nadu as part of ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ and said the Congress leader’s conversation with the pastor showed that the former had, in fact, embarked on a ‘Bharat Todo Yatra’.
