BJP MLA Criticises Sanjay Raut for ‘Terrorists Joined BJP’ Remark
In a recent controversy, Sanjay Raut, a Shiv Sena leader, sparked outrage by making a remark that terrorists who were involved in a recent attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, had probably joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This statement has been met with strong criticism from several quarters, including the BJP.
Ram Kadam, a BJP MLA from Maharashtra, has come out strongly against Raut’s remark, calling it “ridiculous” and an “insult to our armed forces.” Kadam said that the statement was not only baseless but also showed a lack of respect for the country’s security forces. He added that the BJP would not stoop to such levels as it was a party that believed in the principles of democracy and the rule of law.
The controversy began when Raut made the remark during a press conference, stating that the Pahalgam terrorists had not been caught because they probably joined the BJP. His statement was widely condemned by many, who saw it as an attempt to tarnish the image of the BJP and create a divide between the party and the people.
Kadam’s criticism of Raut’s statement is the latest in a series of reactions from various quarters. Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Nirupam, a leader of the party’s Uddhav Thackeray faction, also responded to Raut’s remark, saying that Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders were making such statements out of frustration. Nirupam claimed that Raut’s statement was an attempt to deflect attention from the party’s own failures and that it was a sign of desperation.
The Pahalgam attack, which took place in July, was a devastating terrorist attack that left several people dead and many more injured. The attack was widely condemned by all political parties and the government has promised to take stern action against those responsible.
Raut’s statement has been seen by many as an attempt to politicize the attack and create a divide between the BJP and the people. The BJP has been a vocal critic of terrorism and has taken several initiatives to combat it. The party has also been a strong supporter of the armed forces and has been vocal in its support for their efforts to keep the country safe.
The controversy surrounding Raut’s statement has also highlighted the divide between the Shiv Sena and the BJP. The two parties have a long history of rivalry and have often clashed on several issues. The Shiv Sena, led by Uddhav Thackeray, has been critical of the BJP and has accused it of being anti-Hindu. The BJP, on the other hand, has accused the Shiv Sena of being anti-national and has called for the party to be banned.
In conclusion, Sanjay Raut’s statement that terrorists had probably joined the BJP was an insult to the country’s armed forces and was completely unacceptable. The statement was also a sign of desperation and an attempt to deflect attention from the party’s own failures. The controversy surrounding Raut’s statement has highlighted the divide between the Shiv Sena and the BJP and has shown that the two parties are unlikely to resolve their differences anytime soon.
