Lalan Paswan, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Bihar, sparked outrage by making bizarre statements about Hindu deities.
Paswan’s statement sparked an outrage. People held a protest at Shermari Bazar in Bhagalpur and burnt the effigy of the BJP MLA. Paswan, who is an MLA from Pirpainti Assembly constituency in Bhagalpur district, raised questions about Hindu beliefs and argued with evidence to prove his stance.
He further raised questions about Lakshmi Puja on Diwali. Paswan said, “If we get wealth only by worshipping Goddess Lakshmi, then there would have been no billionaires and trillionaires among Muslims. Muslims do not worship Goddess Lakshmi, are they not rich? Muslims do not worship Goddess Saraswati. Are there no scholars among Muslims? Do not they become IAS or IPS?”
The BJP leader said everything is a person’s belief. He said the affair of “Atma and Paramatma” is just a matter of people’s belief.
He said, “If you believe, then it is a goddess and if not then it is just a stone idol. It is up to us whether we believe in Gods and Goddesses or not. We have to think on a scientific basis to reach a logical conclusion. If you stop believing, then your intellectual capacity will increase.”
