New Delhi: In a strong appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress MP from Ludhiana Amrinder Singh Raja Warring Monday urged them not to divide the society on the communal lines.
Alleging Narendra Modi and the BJP leaders of indulging in the communally charged rhetoric during the 2024 Parliamentary Elections, the Ludhiana MP said the campaign damaged the communal fabric in Punjab for the first time.
“Elections have taken place in Punjab in the past too. People voted for the Congress, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Akali Dal, and to the BJP too. But, unlike in the past, the communally charged campaign in the 2024 elections threatened the communal harmony in the state”, he said in the Lok Sabha responding to the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address.
“I beg with folded hands. Don’t talk about Hindu and Musalman. Don’t talk about mangalsutra. Don’t’ talk about qabristan. I request you don’t divide the country on communal lines”, he said.
“Mandir banta. Masjid Banti. Baant diya bhagwan ko… Sharam karo BJP walo.. mat baanto is desh ke bhoole bhaale insaan ko”, he recited the couplet before ending his speech.
