Karnataka MLA Iqbal Hussain says Ram is his 'family God', claims Congress never uses religion to divide people

Amid the uproar over the arrest of a Hindu activist in Karnataka’s Hubballi, Congress MLA HA Iqbal Hussain said on Thursday that Lord Ram is his “family God” and that he is a devotee. In 2018, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor had asserted that “no good Hindu would want a Ram Mandir at the Babri site.” Although Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has now taken the ‘avatar’ of a “Tapasvi,” the Gandhi scion once claimed that those who visit the temple worship the goddess… They are the ones who molest women in buses.” The Gandhi prince had also been mollycoddling with ardent Hindu haters, as evidenced by his meeting with anti-Hindu Christian pastor George Poonaiah in September 2022, who is notorious for demeaning Hindu deities and Bharat Mata and making derogatory comments about Hindu goddess Shakti and the Janeudhari, Dattatreya gotri brahmin Rahul Gandhi made no objections or attempted to stop the Hindumisic pastor. But, I don’t know if he existed in history.” In 2019, Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar at an event organized by the Social Democratic Party of India in New Delhi called ‘Ek Shaam Babri Masjid Ki Naam,’ questioned the birth of Lord Ram at Ayodhya, asking how someone could be so certain that Lord Ram was born at that historic site. According to the whistleblowing website Wikileaks, Rahul Gandhi informed the then US ambassador to India Timothy Roemer that “there was evidence of some support for Islamist terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba among certain elements in India’s indigenous Muslim community; the bigger threat may be the growth of radicalized Hindu groups, which create religious tensions and political confrontations with the Muslim community.” And who can forget former Prime Minister and Congress leader Manmohan Singh’s “minorities have first right on resources,” remarks back in 2006.
