Dilip Jaiswal: Cong attempts to poison Nationwide Ganga-Jamuni culture supports Gadkari

 Dilip Jaiswa:  Patna Minister on Wednesday strongly defended Union Minister Nitin Gadkari’s claims that the Congress party’s interpretation of secularism and its vote-bank politics are to blame for the country’s ongoing Hindu-Muslim-related problems, claiming that the Congress has continuously attempted to contaminate Ganga-Jamuni culture nationwide.

Jaiswal told IANS that since independence, the Congress has pursued an appeasement strategy.

Since independence, the Congress has always engaged in appeasement politics. Congress politicians were crucial in separating the country even during its Partition, he said.

The minister from Bihar further said that the party still undermines India’s social cohesion.

The Congress is still trying to destroy the Ganga-Jamuni tradition nationwide. It has always attempted to keep minority groups, particularly the Muslim community, apart from the BJP by instilling fear among them,” he told IANS.

Additionally, Jaiswal said that the Congress was using the colonial tactic of divisiveness.

The British “divide and rule” strategy has always been supported by the Congress. But the nation has now realized all of this. He said, “This is the reason why saffron ideology has advanced throughout the nation today.”

Meanwhile, on Tuesday in New Delhi, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari was addressing at the book launch of “Sanatan Sanskriti Ki Atal Drishti,” which was written by Professor Vasudev Devnani, the speaker of the Rajasthan Assembly. C.P. Radhakrishnan, the vice president, attended the function as well.

Gadkari said in his speech that secularism should not be seen as caving in to the demands of any particular group. He clarified that “Sarva Dharma Sambhav,” which stands for equal respect for all faiths, fairness for all, and equal treatment of every person, is the genuine definition of secularism.

Gadkari reiterated what previous Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had earlier stated: “India is a secular country.” It was and will continue to be secular. He emphasized that India’s civilizational ethos, not any political philosophy, is the source of this legacy.

“Neither the BJP nor the RSS are to blame for this. The reason for this is because Bharatiya Sanskriti, Hindu Sanskriti, and Sanatan Sanskriti educate us to hope for the well-being of everyone on the planet, according to Gadkari. In a subtle jab at the Nehru-Gandhi family, he said, “Indian culture speaks of collective well-being rather than individual or familial gain.”

“The BJP-RSS is not to blame. We say “vishwa ka kalyan ho” (may the world be blessed) in Hindu, Sanatan, and Bharatiya “sanskriti,” he said.

In a subtle jab at the Nehru-Gandhi family, Gadkari said, “We never say’mera kalyan ho, mere parivaar ka kalyan ho (may I be blessed, my family be blessed).”

“We don’t have a casteist or communal culture. Conversely, Hindutva is all-encompassing, tolerant, and caring, he said.

Gadkari went on to say that no Hindu ruler in history has ever demolished another person’s house of worship.

The reason for this is because it is not a part of our culture or genetic makeup. He said, “We are neither vistarvaadi (expansionist) nor adhikarvaadi (authoritarian).”

Sadly, he remarked, some of “our own people” also contributed to the “gross misinterpretation” of Bharatiya and Sanatan sanskriti and its history.
