Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Friday, accused the Congress Party of “wanting to treat Hindus as second-class citizens in their own country with a particular dislike for the Hindu religion and its festivals”.
“They (Congress Party) did not want the Ram Mandir to be built in Ayodhya. They say building the temple and celebrating Ram Navami is against the ‘Idea of India’. Those looking from foreigners’ eyes do not know it as it is justice to all and appeasement to none. I am proud of going to temples. But, it is made as if going to temples is against the nation. Do you like to go to Ayodhya for ‘darshan’ or not,” he asked.
Continuing his tirade against the Congress party and its ‘Shehzade’ (Prince) at a public meeting in Narayanpet/Mahabubnagar, he said the party is dividing the nation in the name of religion and despite being aware that religious quotas are against the Constitution and the will of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, it is not talking about scrapping it because it is their “real agenda”.
