BJP MLA criticises Sanjay Raut for ‘terrorists joined BJP’ remark
In a recent controversy, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has sparked outrage by stating that the Pahalgam terrorists have probably joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). His remark has been widely condemned by many, including a BJP MLA, who has called it an “insult to our armed forces”.
Sanjay Raut, a prominent leader of the Shiv Sena, made the statement while speaking to a news channel. He said that the Pahalgam terrorists, who have been evading capture, may have joined the BJP because they are not being caught. This remark has been met with widespread criticism, with many terming it as irresponsible and insulting to the armed forces who are working tirelessly to capture the terrorists.
BJP MLA Ram Kadam, who is a prominent leader from Maharashtra, was quick to respond to Raut’s statement. He called it “ridiculous” and said that it is an “insult to our armed forces who are working day and night to capture these terrorists”. Kadam also added that such statements only help to demoralize the armed forces and create a sense of fear among the people.
This is not the first time that Sanjay Raut has made a controversial statement. He has been known for his outspoken nature and has often courted controversy with his remarks. However, this latest statement has been particularly egregious, as it appears to question the integrity of the armed forces and their ability to capture terrorists.
Other leaders from the Shiv Sena have also responded to Raut’s statement, with some defending him and others distancing themselves from his remarks. Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam said that the party’s leaders were making such statements out of frustration and that they were not representative of the party’s views.
Raut’s statement has also been condemned by other political parties, with the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) terming it as “irresponsible” and “insensitive”. The NCP leader, Sharad Pawar, said that such statements only help to create a sense of fear among the people and undermine the authority of the armed forces.
This controversy comes at a time when the country is already reeling from a series of terrorist attacks. The Pahalgam terrorists have been known to be involved in several attacks in the region, including the recent attack on the CRPF convoy in Pulwama. The attack killed 40 CRPF personnel and injured many more.
The controversy surrounding Raut’s statement is a reminder of the importance of responsible leadership. Political leaders have a responsibility to their citizens to speak responsibly and avoid making statements that could demoralize the armed forces or create a sense of fear among the people.
In conclusion, Sanjay Raut’s statement that the Pahalgam terrorists have probably joined the BJP is an insult to our armed forces and is unacceptable. Such statements only help to create a sense of fear among the people and undermine the authority of the armed forces. We urge all political leaders to exercise restraint and speak responsibly to avoid causing harm to the country and its people.
