BJP MLA Criticises Sanjay Raut for ‘Terrorists Joined BJP’ Remark
In a recent controversy, Sanjay Raut, a senior Shiv Sena leader, sparked outrage by stating that the Pahalgam terrorists who were involved in a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir might have joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This comment has been widely condemned by many, including a BJP MLA, who has termed it as an insult to the armed forces.
Sanjay Raut made this comment while speaking to a news channel, saying that the Pahalgam terrorists have not been caught because they probably joined the BJP. This statement has been met with widespread criticism, with many calling it a blatant attempt to undermine the credibility of the BJP.
One of the strongest reactions to Raut’s comment came from BJP MLA Ram Kadam, who called it “ridiculous” and an “insult to our armed forces”. Kadam also questioned the motive behind Raut’s statement, saying that it was an attempt to divert attention from the real issues facing the country.
“It is an insult to our armed forces… They have been working tirelessly to keep our country safe, and statements like these only demoralize them,” Kadam said.
Sanjay Nirupam, a leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), also responded to Raut’s comment, saying that Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders were making such statements out of frustration. Nirupam said that the Shiv Sena (UBT) was frustrated because it was not able to get the attention of the people with its policies and was therefore resorting to such statements.
Raut’s comment has also been criticized by many others, including politicians and citizens. Many have taken to social media to express their outrage and disappointment at Raut’s statement.
The comment has also been seen as an attempt to politicize the issue of terrorism, which is a serious concern for the country. Many have argued that terrorism is a serious issue that affects the entire nation, and that politicians should avoid making statements that can be seen as inflammatory or divisive.
In response to the backlash, Raut has refused to apologize for his comment, saying that he was only trying to make a point about the lack of progress in the investigation into the Pahalgam terror attack. However, many have argued that his statement was unhelpful and divisive, and that it only served to undermine the credibility of the BJP.
The controversy surrounding Raut’s comment highlights the importance of responsible politics and the need for politicians to avoid making statements that can be seen as inflammatory or divisive. It is essential for politicians to work together to address the serious issues facing the country, rather than resorting to petty squabbles and personal attacks.
As the nation continues to grapple with the threat of terrorism, it is essential that politicians like Raut avoid making statements that can be seen as inflammatory or divisive. Instead, they should work together to address the root causes of terrorism and to provide support to the armed forces who are working to keep our country safe.
