Jammu, Aug 12: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Devender Singh Rana on Monday slammed the “pseudo seculars’ stoic silence” over the attacks on Hindu minorities by radicals in Bangladesh, saying the Congress-led INDI Alliance “now stands exposed” from Kashmir to Kanyakumari for their “hollow moral grandstanding”.
“The skeletons of the Mohabbat Ki Dukan salespersons and Post X warriors have fallen from the cupboard and their real faces are telling the tales of their evil designs to divide the society, hurt the national interest and play vote bank politics,” Rana said while speaking to the media persons at the sidelines of a Tiranga rally, organised by the Shri Kailakh Jyotish Avim Vedic Sansthan Trust under the stewardship of Rohit Shastri from Government Higher Secondary School Dansal to the Tehsil Office Dansal, to promote the Sanskrit language and de-addiction.
Rana expressed anguish over the “shameful attitude” of the global community for looking to the other side over “brazen human rights violations” in Bangladesh. “The selective approach of the Western media is equally condemnable. Those crying hoarse over human dignity and respect for civil liberty must stop behaving like ostriches and call out the zealots inhumane and barbaric acts against humanity,” he demanded.
Addressing the rally, the BJP leader lauded the efforts of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, for supporting institutions like Shri Kailakh Jyotish and Vedic Sansthan Trust in their mission to promote and preserve the rich heritage of Sanskrit.
Devender said the fundamental principles of modern science are embedded in Sanskrit. “The children must have moral education; if we adhere to our values and moral teachings, we will certainly stay away from drugs, he said, adding that addiction doesn’t affect just an individual but also their entire family and society. There is a need for a comprehensive public awareness campaign against narcotics,” he stressed.
He appreciated Rohit Shastri for holding the awareness rally to educate people about the evils of drug abuse and to spread the message to society to stay away from drugs and recognise the importance of Sanskrit.
Speaking on the occasion, Shastri said these programmes are being conducted during Sanskrit Month. “Sanskrit is not a language limited to a specific class; everyone must acquire its knowledge. Chanakya’s politics, Bhaskaracharya’s mathematics, Charak and Sushruta’s Ayurveda, Patanjali’s yoga, Parashara Muni’s agriculture, Bharat Muni’s dramaturgy—many such subjects were developed in Sanskrit. It was through this knowledge and science that our ancestors once made the country prosperous,” he said.
Along with promoting Sanskrit, we are also working on de-addiction, Shastri said. “Addiction is a curse in society, and hence, we all need to work together to eradicate it from our surroundings,” he added.
