BJP Slams Sharad Pawar's Party MLA For Anti-Sanatana Remarks
New Delhi: BJP national spokesperson and MP Sambit Patra on Sunday hit out at the Congress "ecosystem" for what he called its determination to defame Sanatan Dharma and use terms like "Hindu terror", citing the latest controversial statement by leader NCP-SP MLA Jitendra Awhad. Addressing mediapersons, Patra said, "Awhad is a leader from Maharashtra and belongs to Sharad Pawar's party. Once again, he has used derogatory language for Sanatan Dharma. Awhad said that Sanatan Dharma has destroyed India and that there was never a religion called Sanatan Dharma." Criticising the MLA, Patra said, "You have insulted the truth, spoken against Shiva, and opposed the beauty of India - an India whose beauty lies in its respect for all. Today, I want to ask respected Sharad Pawar Ji and his daughter Supriya Sule, who is also a Member of Parliament, if this is the official line of your party, or is this just Jitendra Awhad's personal opinion." The BJP MP blamed the Congress "ecosystem" for the latest "disrespect" of Sanatan Dharma. "The objective of appeasement drives the entire Congress ecosystem to make such controversial remarks time and again," he said. They want to insult Sanatan Dharma, eradicate and oppose Sanatan Dharma and want to deliberately use the term "Hindu terrorist" and "Saffron terrorist", he said. The BJP MP also trained his guns on Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan for using the terms "Hindu terrorist or Sanatan terrorist". "Nowhere else in the world is the majority community assailed like this and taunted as intolerant," he said. Patra said it is the greatness of Sanatan Dharma that its followers are voicing their protest against such provocative remarks through a press conference. "I think Sharad Pawar Ji and his daughter Supriya Sule ji need to ask Jitendra Awhad as to who is the real intolerant and what kind of behaviour should be followed in the country," he said. After the acquittal of all seven accused in the 2008 Malegaon blasts, Nationalist Congress Party - Sharadchandra Pawar (NCP-SP) legislator Awhad had sparked a controversy by claiming that "Sanatan Dharma's ideology is perverted and it has ruined the country".

BHOPAL: 'Param Bir Singh is a depraved and disgraceful officer who broke every law,' former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur said on Sunday in Bhopal, launching a fierce attack on the former Mumbai Police Commissioner and the Maharashtra ATS. Thakur, who was recently acquitted in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, alleged she was illegally detained and tortured because she refused to name top BJP and RSS leaders. Thakur claimed that during her interrogation, she was pressured to implicate senior figures like RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat, PM Narendra Modi, UP CM Yogi Adityanath , Indresh Kumar, and former BJP leader Ram Madhav . 'They told me to say these leaders told me to do it. I refused—and that's why they tortured me,' she said in Bhopal while addressing the media. She alleged that she was held illegally for 13 days, remained in police custody for 24 days, and was physically and mentally harassed by ATS officers, including male personnel. 'They crossed all limits. Every law was broken,' Pragya said. Thakur accused the Congress-led UPA govt of misusing investigative agencies to 'create fear' and label Hindutva as terrorism. 'The entire ecosystem was used to demonise Hindus, saints, and even the armed forces. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Health: the best shoes to walk and stand all day Ultra-Comfortable Shoes Undo They tried to erase our identity,' she added further. Without directly naming Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh, she said, 'That man is not worth naming. Whoever takes his name in the morning will have a bad day.' She also referred to co-accused who allegedly died under suspicious circumstances. 'One woman still doesn't know if she's a widow. That's the extent to which they went,' she added. 'The court has now said those who presented false evidence must be investigated. I'm confident they will be punished,' Thakur said, adding, 'We work for rashtra neeti, not rajneeti.'

Sanatan Dharma a ‘perverted ideology', has ruined India: Maharashtra MLA Jitendra Awhad
A political row erupted in Maharashtra on Saturday after Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) MLA Jitendra Awhad claimed that Sanatan Dharma 'ruined India' and described the ideology as 'perverted', ANI reported. Awhad made the remarks in response to a special court in Mumbai acquitting Bharatiya Janata Party leader Pragya Singh Thakur, Lieutenant Colonel Prasad Purohit and five others on Thursday in the 2008 Malegaon blast case. The blast has been referred to as an incident of ' saffron terror '. 'Sanatan Dharma has ruined India,' ANI quoted Awhad as telling reporters on Saturday. 'There was never any religion called Sanatan Dharma. We are followers of Hindu Dharma. It was this so-called Sanatan Dharma that denied our Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj his coronation. This Sanatan Dharma defamed our Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.' He added that the 'followers of this Sanatan Dharma tried to assassinate' anti-caste activist Jyotirao Phule. 'They threw cow dung and filth at [anti-caste activist] Savitribai Phule,' Awhad said. 'This very Sanatan Dharma conspired to kill Shahu Maharaj. It did not even allow Dr BR Ambedkar to drink water or attend school.' The MLA said that it was Ambedkar who rose against Sanatan Dharma, burned the Manusmriti and rejected its oppressive traditions. '…One must not be afraid to say openly that Sanatan Dharma and its Sanatani ideology are perverted,' he added. The Manusmriti is a Hindu scripture authored by a medieval ascetic named Manu. It has been widely criticised for its gender and caste-based provisions. Responding to Awhad's statements, Bharatiya Janata Party MP Sambit Patra on Sunday said that the NCP-SP legislator had used derogatory language for Sanatan Dharma. 'He [Awhad] said that Sanatan Dharma has destroyed India and that there was never a religion called Sanatan Dharma,' Patra told reporters. 'You have insulted the truth, spoken against [Hindu deity] Shiva, and opposed the beauty of India – an India whose beauty lies in its respect for all.' The BJP leader added: 'Today, I want to ask respected [Nationalist Congress Party founder] Sharad Pawar Ji and his daughter [NCP-SP's] Supriya Sule, who is also a Member of Parliament: is this the official line of your party, or is this just Jitendra Awhad's personal opinion?' 2008 Malegaon blast Six persons were killed and around 100 were injured when an explosive device strapped to a motorcycle went off near a mosque in Malegaon in northern Maharashtra on September 29, 2008. Thakur and Purohit were arrested later that year. Five others – Major Ramesh Upadhyay, Sameer Kulkarni, Ajay Rahirkar, Sudhakar Dwivedi and Sudhakar Chaturvedi – were also named accused in the case. All seven of them were charged under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and the Indian Penal Code. The case was initially investigated by the Maharashtra anti-terrorism squad. It was transferred to the National Investigation Agency in 2011. On Monday, a National Investigation Agency court, while acquitting all the accused persons, said that the prosecution failed to establish their guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
