Modi Wants to Divide Country in the Name of Religion, accuses Congress Leader Chennithala

GG News Bureau
Pune, 24th Jan. Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of trying to divide the country based on religion. Chennithala also criticized the Assam government for stopping Rahul Gandhi from entering a temple.

Chennithala, who is responsible for the Congress party’s activities in Maharashtra, visited Pune to assess preparations for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He claimed that Modi’s recent speech in Ayodhya was politically motivated and slammed the Prime Minister for engaging in religious activities, which he said is not part of his role as the country’s leader.

“Our prime minister wants to divide the country in the name of religion. Our country, our constitution are for all religions. Secularism is the base of our constitution, but the prime minister is trying to break that tradition,” he said.

“Lord Ram does not belong to any one person. Everyone has the right to go to the temple, but yesterday Rahul Gandhi was stopped from going to a temple in Assam. First, he was given the invitation, and when he went, he was stopped. Is it our tradition?” Chennithala asked.
