New Delhi, 21st Jan. The Congress party, long a self-proclaimed bastion of secularism, finds itself exposed in the ongoing Supreme Court battle over the Places of Worship Act. The party’s duplicity in playing both sides to maintain its Muslim vote bank is now glaringly evident.
When Ashwini Upadhyay filed a PIL challenging the contentious law, Congress had a choice: either stand with Hindu sentiments and demand a re-evaluation of history or side with its Muslim vote bank and cling to the status quo. Unsurprisingly, it chose the latter, shedding its façade of neutrality to reveal its true colors.
The irony is rich. A party that has historically positioned itself as inclusive has now aligned with entities like TMC, AAP, RJD, AIMIM, and AIMPLB—all staunch defenders of the current law. Its top legal eagles, including Kapil Sibal, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, and Salman Khurshid, have entered the fray to ensure no survey of temples desecrated by historical invaders sees the light of day.
This is not a fight for justice or historical truth—it’s a blatant attempt to safeguard a carefully curated vote bank. By opposing even the possibility of a fair inquiry into the status of temples destroyed by the likes of Aurangzeb and Ghazni, Congress has signaled where its priorities lie.
For decades, the party has worn the mask of secularism while quietly sidelining Hindu interests. Now, that mask has been forcibly removed. Its actions speak louder than its rhetoric: it would rather defend a law that stifles historical truth than risk alienating its 15% minority vote bank.
Hindus in Congress and its voter base must ask themselves tough questions. Are they willing to continue supporting a party that sacrifices 80% of the population’s sentiments at the altar of political expediency?
Ashwini Upadhyay’s PIL has not just challenged a law—it has exposed a party’s character. The Congress is no longer a secular entity but a political descendant of the Muslim League, prioritizing appeasement over fairness.
The time has come for Hindus to reclaim their narrative, demand accountability, and ensure history is not erased under the guise of secularism. The Places of Worship Act is more than a legal battle—it is a test of the nation’s conscience. And Congress, yet again, has chosen the wrong side.
