Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya said on Tuesday evening that after the partition of India, Pakistan was formed, and the remaining country is a Hindu nation.
“When India was divided, it was on this issue (along religious lines). After the partition, Pakistan was formed. The remaining country is a Hindu nation,” the BJP leader said. He made the remark while talking to media persons in Indore on Tuesday evening, in response to a question about the demand for making India a Hindu nation. Recently, a senior BJP leader and former Madhya Pradesh CM, Uma Bharati, also said that India is a “Hindu nation”.
“Had it not been a Hindu Rashtra (nation), you would not have been spared here. Neither ex-Uttar Pradesh CM Akhilesh Yadav nor West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee would have been spared; instead, they would have been reciting Namaz. It’s a Hindu Rashtra, which is why they are able to talk about secularism,” Uma Bharti has said.
Vijayvargiya was addressing the media in relation to a Hanuman Chalisa Path being organized at Pitra Parvat in the district on 25 March. Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar will also participate in the event. It is claimed that about 51,000 people will recite the Hanuman Chalisa here.
