NEW DELHI: BJP on Tuesday hit out at Congress and other opposition parties over Samajwadi Party neta Abu Azmi’s remarks defending Mughal emperor Aurangzeb and said they could stoop to any level in their bid to “eradicate” Sanatan Dharma.
Reacting to Azmi’s remarks on Aurangzeb, BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi termed those an “insult to the entire Indian society” and alleged that opposition INDIA bloc constituents are engaged in a “cut-throat competition” with each other to prove themselves anti-Hindu for minority votes. “This unwarranted and unwanted glorification of Aurangzeb, who was one of the most cruel and tyrannical rulers in history, is an insult to Indian society. This is an old tendency of Congress and ‘INDI alliance’.
Earlier their MP Imran Pratapgarhi had visited Aurangzeb’s tomb and prayed,” Trivedi said. It is evident Congress, in its desperation, is engaged in a reckless race to surpass even Aurangzeb in its hatred for Hindus, he added.
