New Delhi: Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Monday came up with bizarre and weird logic, amounting to superstition as he claimed that several BJP leaders have been tested Corona positive because norms of Sanatan Dharma were not followed in the bhoomi pujan of Ram Temple.
He also urged the Prime Minister to defer foundation stone laying ceremony for Ram temple from August 5 as it will be an “inauspicious hour” for the event.
Digvijaya lists names of BJP leaders to buttress his claim
Congress leader claimed that several BJP leaders were falling sick due to COVID-19 as the result of ignoring the norms of Sanatan Dharma.
“The results of ignoring the norms of Sanatan Dharma are – all priests of Ram temple tested positive for COVID-19, death of UP Minister Kamal Rani Varun due to corona, UP BJP chief tested COVID-19 positive, Home Minister Amit Shah tested positive for COVID-19, Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan tested positive for COVID-19, Karnataka CM Yediyurappa tested positive for COVID-19,” he added.
“Lord Ram is the epicentre of faith for crores of Hindus and the PM should not play with norms and traditions of Sanatan Dharma established across thousands of years,” he added.
Digvijay calls for quarantining Prime Minister
“One more question arises. A minister of the Uttar Pradesh government died due to coronavirus. Union Home Minister tested positive for COVID-19 and Uttar Pradesh BJP chief also tested positive. In these circumstances, whether Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and India’s Prime Minister should not be quarantined? Is being quarantined only mandated for common people? Not for Prime Minister and Chief Ministers? The time limit for quarantine is 14 days,” he added.
“I request Modi Ji again that the inauspicious occasion of August 5 (for foundation stone laying ceremony for Ram temple) should be deferred. The construction of Ram temple is to begin after hundreds of years of struggle and PM Modi should leave his stubbornness that may cause an obstruction in the process,” Digvijaya tweeted (translated from Hindi).
PM Modi to do bhoomi pujan on Aug 5
The Prime Minister is scheduled to lay the foundation stone of the Ram temple in Ayodhya on August 5.
The construction of Ram temple will begin after the ceremony to lay the foundation stone in which Chief Ministers of several states, Ministers from the Union Cabinet and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat are also likely to participate.
