Taking strong exception to the recent remarks on eradication of Sanatana Dharma, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said any such move of the Congress and its alliance members would lead to a “complete annihilation” of the culture of Rajasthan. Such a mindset stemmed from the appeasement politics practised by the Congress, he said.
Mr. Modi, who addressed two public meetings in poll-bound Rajasthan, said the leaders of the ghamandiya (arrogant) alliance had been making very objectionable comments, including on mothers and sisters, which had created outrage among the people. The Prime Minister was referring to the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), the Opposition bloc with several frontline parties.
The rallies were organised in Pali and at Pilibanga in Hanumangarh district ahead of the Assembly election scheduled for November 25. Mr. Modi’s ire was directed at Tamil Nadu Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin who had said in September that Sanatana Dharma was against social justice and it should hence be eradicated.
