Bommai questions Rahul Gandhi's silence on 'Hindu' remark

UDUPI: Basavaraj Bommai, the chief minister of Karnataka, has questioned Rahul Gandhi's silence on remarks made by Congressman Satish Jarkiholi regarding Hindu language and religion.

When Jarkiholi said that the word "Hindu" is of Persian origin and has a "dirty" meaning, he set off a hornet's nest. Jarkiholi is the Secretary of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC).

Despite being covered and discussed in various media, Rahul Gandhi has not said anything about it, said Bommai. "These people are performing the Bharat Jodo Yatra drama. Does this not represent the dissolution of our country? The declaration aims to polarise the nation. The "Bharat Todo" agenda has always been embraced by the Congress party "He said.

Their campaign includes this. In addition to creating Pakistan, the Congress also gave rise to Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and the Naxalites. Additionally, they have aided hostile forces against the nation, said Bommai. Chief Minister Bommai responded to the claim by claiming that Satish Jarkiholi had claimed that the word "Hindu"

means "filthy." "He thinks and acts in a dishonest manner. Through his words, that has come through. Hinduism has a long history and was founded prior to the seventh century. Sanatan Dharma is a reflection of the public's faith and confidence. He should be severely condemned for challenging the religion's fundamental tenets "He said.

Due to his negative thinking, this has occurred. The Congress's lack of response is more unexpectedCM Bommai said, opposition leader Siddaramaiah has not mentioned it once. Instead, he speaks about every subject. He emphasised, "The BJP party would not only denounce Satish Jarkiholi's words, but will also see to it that the subject is properly handled.

Mini B.S. Yediyurappa, the former leader of the BJP and chairman of the Central Parliamentary Committee, criticised Jarkiholi's remarks. "The comment should be condemned. The Congress had denounced it, but mere denunciation is insufficient "He said.

Satish Jarkiholi needs to apologise in front of the state's citizens. Yediyurappa said that if he believes that by talking foolishly, he can elevate his stature. He should treat the Hindu religion with respect. Yediyurappa advised him not to disparage Hindus.

Notably, Jarkiholi questioned the relationship between India and Persia while speaking to a crowd at a celebration in Nippani town on Sunday. Hindu is not at all an Indian word. It's Persian. It should be discussed how the term "Hindu" came to be used to describe us, he said.

"The word is Persian and is indigenous to Kazakhstan, Iran, and Iraq. How can something become Indian when things are like this? Look it up on Wikipedia or WhatsApp; the phrase has come from Persia and is not yours (addressing a group); "He said.

Why is the word glorified? Why is it being glorified? You did not say this. You will feel ashamed if you understand the meaning of this word. "Hindu is a nasty word. This information comes from a swamiji and is posted on a website, not from me. It should be discussed how aggressively the word of a different faith or location is being pressed onto us "Demanded Jarkiholi.
