Tiwari Links Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, and Emergency Remarks to Threats on Hindu Faith

Manoj Tiwari, a BJP legislator from Uttar Pradesh, linked three recent Congress statements to a broader threat against Hindu traditions. He said Mallikarjun Kharge’s Diwali greeting, which subtly referenced Eid, was designed to dilute the significance of Rama’s victory and Samajwadi Party MP Sanatan Pandey’s defense of shooting Ram‑Temple volunteers was a “dangerous rationale” that puts the Constitution in the hands of those who would use force against Hindus.

Tiwari also cited Sonia Gandhi’s comments on the removal of the Babri Masjid and the 1975 Emergency, portraying them as an attempt to portray Sanatan believers as antagonistic to secularism. He accused the Congress of repeatedly challenging electoral mechanisms such as EVMs only when it loses, likening that mindset to the authoritarianism of the Emergency era.

Concluding, Tiwari urged all followers of Sanatan Dharma—whether Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist or Jain—to stand united against political rhetoric that he says endangers their religious freedom and to hold leaders accountable for statements that could incite violence.
