BJP fires fresh salvo at Opposition over Sanatana Dharma row

The Hindu  

The BJP on Tuesday accused the INDIA bloc of having a hidden agenda to attack Sanatan Dharma for its vote bank politics as it questioned the "silence" of Opposition leaders amid frequent critical remarks by DMK leaders about the faith. Firing a fresh salvo at the Opposition over the issue, BJP leader and former Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad targeted the Congress leadership saying the longer Sonia Gandhi maintains silence over the matter the more it will be clear that opposing Sanatana Dharma is part of the INDIA bloc's common minimum programme. Mr. Prasad seized on a recent comment by a DMK leader that it is the bloc's agenda to oppose Sanatana Dharma, and said what the Tamil Nadu leader has said is right. With the DMK linking Sanatana Dharma with the practice of caste discrimination among Hindus to justify its criticism, the BJP leader noted that temples dedicated to revered people from backward castes like Shabir, Kewat and saint Ravidas have been built. Hitting back, Mr. Prasad said while Opposition leaders from those in the DMK to some in parties like the Rashtriya Janata Dal and Samajwadi Party have been vocal in criticising Sanatana Dharma and holy books associated with Hinduism, can they summon courage to criticise other faiths and their holy figures.
