PM Modi React On Ganesh Puja: PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday September 17 gave his first reaction on the controversy over Ganesh Puja with CJI DY Chandrachud. The Prime Minister said that even today the power hungry people who are engaged in dividing and breaking the society are having trouble with Ganesh Puja. When I participated in Ganesh Puja, the Congress and its ecosystem people had a problem. Those who divide the society are having trouble with Ganesh Utsav. PM Modi targeted the opposition in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
Let us tell you that last week Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the Ganpati Puja ceremony at the residence of Supreme Court Chief Justice DY Chandrachud. During this, PM Modi was seen performing Ganesh Aarti with CJI Chandrachud. There was a controversy over this whole matter. All opposition parties including Congress protested against this.
Now PM Modi reacted for the first time on Tuesday September 17 regarding the matter. PM Modi said, power hungry people are having trouble with Ganesh Puja. People of Congress and its ecosystem are angry because I participated in Ganpati Puja. In Karnataka where their government is, they committed a bigger crime. There the Ganesh idol was put behind bars. We should not let such hateful forces move forward.
PM Modi further said, Ganesh Utsav is not just a festival of faith for our country. Ganesh Utsav played a very big role in the independence of our country. When the British were busy dividing the country in their hunger for power, making the country fight in the name of castes, poisoning the society, divide and rule had become their weapon, then Lokmanya Tilak awakened the soul of India through public events of Ganesh Utsav. Rising above high, low, discrimination… our religion teaches us to unite.
Actually, PM Narendra Modi reached the residence of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud on September 11 and participated in the Ganpati Puja. The CJI and his wife welcomed the Prime Minister wearing Marathi caps. PM Modi also performed the aarti of Lord Ganesha in a spiritual atmosphere. As soon as the picture of this came out, the opposition attacked Modi and CJI Chandrachud.
