Take Action Against Those Spreading Hate: Vijayan On Remarks Against Prophet
Mumbai: Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday urged the Centre to take action against those “propagating hate and trying to destroy the secular fabric of our country.”
He further said that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh brought the country to a “state of embarrassment”.
“The Sangh Parivar forces have brought our country, which is revered by all as a secular democracy, to a state of embarrassment in front of the world,” Vijayan said in a statement. He said the remarks made by former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma and the party’s expelled Delhi media head Naveen Kumar Jindal against the Prophet not only affect social security but also the country’s economy.
“The Hindutva communal politics affects not our only social security but also our economy,” he stated.
The Chief Minister further said that many Islamic countries, which employ lakhs of Indians and contribute significantly to our economy and development, have become vocal in their opposition to the “politics of hate” of the BJP and the Sangh Parivar.
He said, “Many Islamic countries which employ millions of Indians and also play a major role in the development of our economy have raised their voice against the hate politics of BJP and Sangh Parivar. These countries have good relations with India.”
He further alleged that derogatory remarks against the Prophet are a part of the agenda of the Sangh Parivar.
“Centre should take action against those spreading hatred and trying to destroy the secular fabric of our country. Besides, we should unanimously raise our voice against such communal elements,” Vijayan said.
After her suspension from the BJP over her alleged remarks, Nupur Sharma withdrew her statement saying that “it was never her intention to hurt anyone’s religious sentiments”.
The BJP also issued a statement and said that it strongly condemns the insult of any religious personality of any religion and is against any ideology which insults or insults any class or religion.
