The Bharatiya Janata Party will have to pay a huge price for making religion a political weapon in the country, Shashi Tharoor, MP, has said.
Addressing the ‘Veruppinethire Sneha Sandesha Yatra ‘ by T.N. Prathapan, MP, at Guruvayur on Tuesday, Mr. Tharoor said the concept of ‘Bharat’ itself was facing threat.
“The BJP thinks that the believers will stand with it if it constructs a temple by demolishing a masjid. There is a threat against the masjid in Mathura too. This is not development. Who gave them the copyright of Lord Rama. They should not forget that it is the soil in which Mahatma Gandhi took his last breath after calling Hey Ram.”
