Nagpur : Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has given a controversial statement about Manusmriti. Kharge has said that Manusmriti should be burnt. Reacting to BJP’s statement that if it is divided, it will be cut, the Congress President said that Manusmriti was divided thousands of years ago and it has been dividing since then. Manusmriti has divided people in segments like into Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra and Atishudra. PM Narendra Modi says that if we are united, we are safe. If Modi has to be safe by being united, then Manusmriti will have to be burnt.
In fact, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had reached Nagpur on Saturday November 9, 2024 to campaign for the Maharashtra Assembly elections. During this, while responding to the BJP’s slogan ‘If we divide, we will be cut’, he said – Yogi has Ram in his mouth and a knife in his armpit. Yogi comes in the clothes of a sadhu and then says that if we are divided, we will be cut. He is the one who divides and he is the one who cuts.
Kharge said that Ambedkar had said that acquire education and fight unitedly against injustice. But Modi always talks about division. Modi ji is happy because he gets donations, but the poor in the country do not have money to buy the food products . There is no work, no education. He said that PM Narendra Modi says that if we are united then we are safe. If Modi wants to be safe by being united then Manusmriti will have to be burnt.
He further said that Congress does not talk about uniting for votes or dividing for votes. Congress has always worked unitedly. That is why Mahatma Gandhi gave up his life. Godse, who killed Gandhi, was of their ideology. Indira Gandhi was also killed by people of their ideology. If we want to remain united, then bullets are fired at us. Rajiv Gandhi also wanted to keep this country united. He was also murdered. He was cut into thousands of pieces.
