What does Vadra know about Hindutva: Relative of man killed in J&K
In a recent statement, Robert Vadra, husband of Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi, sparked outrage when he claimed that “Muslims are feeling weakened in India”. The statement has been widely criticized, with many calling it divisive and irresponsible. One such critic is a relative of Manjunath Rao, a Karnataka-based man who lost his life in a terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
The relative, who wishes to remain anonymous, has expressed his disappointment and frustration at Vadra’s statement. “What does he know about Hindutva?” he asked, implying that Vadra has no understanding of the concept or its significance. “This was not expected from him. Terrorists don’t have any religion. He should take his words back,” he added.
Vadra’s statement has been met with widespread criticism, with many arguing that it is a clear attempt to stoke Hindu-Muslim divide. The fact that he made this statement at a time when the country is still reeling from the aftermath of the terror attack in J&K, only adds to the controversy.
The relative of Manjunath Rao, who spoke to Republic World, expressed his sadness and anger at Vadra’s statement. “My brother was a victim of terrorism, and now this man is trying to divide us on the basis of religion. It’s tragic,” he said.
The victim’s relative also questioned Vadra’s understanding of Hindutva, which is a complex and multifaceted concept that encompasses various aspects of Indian culture, society, and politics. “Hindutva is not just about religion, it’s about the values and traditions that India has been built on. What does Robert Vadra know about it? He’s just a businessman, not a scholar or a historian,” he said.
The relative also pointed out that Vadra’s statement is at odds with the fact that terrorism is a global problem that affects people of all religions and backgrounds. “Terrorists don’t care about religion, they just want to destroy innocent lives. Why is Robert Vadra trying to create a rift between Hindus and Muslims? It’s not going to solve anything,” he said.
The controversy surrounding Vadra’s statement has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many calling for him to apologize and retract his statement. Many have also questioned the timing of his statement, which comes at a time when the country is still grappling with the aftermath of the terror attack in J&K.
Meanwhile, the BJP has also jumped into the fray, with party leaders accusing Vadra of trying to spread communal hatred. “This is a classic example of how the Congress party is trying to divide the country on religious lines. Robert Vadra’s statement is a clear attempt to spread hate and intolerance,” said a senior BJP leader.
The controversy surrounding Vadra’s statement has also sparked a wider debate about the role of religion in Indian politics. While some argue that religion should be kept out of politics, others believe that it is an important aspect of Indian identity and culture.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how Vadra will respond to the criticism and controversy surrounding his statement. Will he apologize and retract his statement, or will he continue to defend his position? Only time will tell.
In conclusion, Robert Vadra’s statement has sparked a heated debate about the role of religion in Indian politics and the dangers of stoking Hindu-Muslim divide. The relative of Manjunath Rao, who lost his life in a terror attack in J&K, has spoken out against Vadra’s statement, questioning his understanding of Hindutva and criticizing his efforts to create a rift between Hindus and Muslims.
As we move forward, it is essential that we remember the sacrifices of victims like Manjunath Rao and work towards a more inclusive and tolerant society. We must also ensure that politicians like Robert Vadra do not use religion as a tool to divide us, but rather work towards building a more united and harmonious society.
