What did the Leader of Opposition say on the whole matter?
Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie claimed that Ahuja’s act is a sign of BJP’s mentality towards Dalits. He claimed that it is not only an attack on his faith, but also an attempt to promote the crime of untouchability. The Congress leader said, “I had raised the voice of Dalits in the assembly and had asked for a campaign against untouchability, but the mentality of the BJP is such that he washed the temple with Ganga water, because I am a Dalit and I saw in the temple.
He said that the BJP hates Dalits so much that it cannot even see us worshiping? Is there only the right of BJP leaders over God? Julie demanded that Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma and BJP state unit president Madan Rathore should clarify whether they support “washing” when they appear in a Dalit temple.
BJP leader gave this argument
BJP leader Ahuja said that Pran Pratishtha ceremony was a good program, but there were some discrepancies in it. He said that I went there today and sprinkled Ganga water to purify the temple complex. He said that former Congress president Sonia Gandhi had filed an affidavit in the court, describing Lord Ram as mythological.
Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi boycotted the historic Ram temple Pran Pratishtha ceremony in Ayodhya. Therefore, party leaders have no moral right to attend such programs.
Ahuja said that this step was taken due to the attitude and attitude of Congress leaders towards Lord Ram, not because Julie is “Dalit”. He said, “I purified the temple because Congress leaders believe that Lord Ram was a mythological character.
BJP will take action against Ahuja- Ashok Gehlot
Criticizing Ahuja, Gehlot said that the incident of BJP leader Gyan Dev Ahuja sprinkling Ganga water after the Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie visited the temple reflects the narrow mentality of the BJP towards Dalits. This is unacceptable in the 21st century and should be strongly condemned. He said that the BJP will take action against Ahuja for this derogatory act?
Leader of Opposition by BJP leader Mr. Gyan Dev Ahuja @Tikaramjullyinc The incident of sprinkling Ganga water after going to the temple shows BJP’s maliciousness towards Dalits. Such a narrow mindset is not acceptable in a civilized society in the 21st century. It should be condemned in strict words
