Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday yet again asked the Gandhi family to clear its stance on repeated remarks against ‘Sanatana Dharma’ and challenged Congress leader Kamal Nath to take the Gandhi family to Ayodhya’s Ram Temple.
“The Gandhi family must clear their stance on repeated remarks against ‘Sanatan Dharma’, otherwise they will face the anger of the country,” the Assam chief minister at a rally in Sironj in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh.
“I want to tell Rahul Gandhi that ‘Sanatan’ (Dharma) was, is, and will always be. You can’t do anything,” said Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Earlier, Tamil Nadu minister and DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin, speaking at a public event, called for the “eradication” of the Sanatana Dharma and equated the same with diseases like dengue, malaria, etc. It led to a massive controversy across the nation with several Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders questioning the INDIA bloc (DMK is a partner in the alliance) and condemning the remarks of Udhaynidhi Stalin.
“Kamalnath ji calls himself a Hanuman devotee. I give them two challenges – take the Gandhi family to Ayodhya and tell Rahul Gandhi to expel those who abuse Sanatana Dharma from the party,” Sarma said.
Further, taking a dig at the Gandhi family, Sarma, “I have a request to the prime minister that next time he should also send the Gandhi family to the Moon through Chandrayaan.”
“They have problems with the G20 Summit. They have problems with PM Modi’s Covid vaccine and they have problems with the PM when the government distributes free ration,” Sarma alleged.
Sarma also claimed that under the leadership of Modi, the BJP will win more than 150 seats in the upcoming assembly election of Madhya Pradesh.
“I came to Madhya Pradesh when Digvijaya Singh ji was the chief minister. People used to say that there is never a power failure here because there is no electricity,” Sarma took a jibe at the Congress veteran.
