Sambit Patra Rebuts Rahul Gandhi, Asserts Non-Violence of Hindus

BJP MP Sambit Patra responded to Rahul Gandhi's remarks, asserting that Hindus have never committed violence and defending Hindu traditions. Patra highlighted the Modi government's achievements and claimed the opposition is happy being the minority in Parliament. He also discussed the roots of democracy in Jagannath Dham.

In a sharp rebuttal, BJP MP Sambit Patra on Monday dismissed Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's stance that ruling party members are 'not Hindus' due to their divisive actions. Patra fervently defended Hindu traditions, emphasizing their non-violent nature and the veneration of women as goddesses.

During his Lok Sabha address, Gandhi had criticized the BJP, accusing them of perpetuating violence and hate despite identifying as Hindus. Rahul Gandhi's comments provoked a reaction from Patra, who countered by accusing the DMK of unfairly maligning Hinduism and its practices. He stressed that Hindus have historically refrained from violence.

Patra also lauded the achievements of the Modi government, underscoring landmark projects like the construction of 12 crore toilets and delivery of 4 crore houses under various missions. He celebrated the return of the Modi government and highlighted the purity of odisha's democracy, stemming from ancient traditions.
