The Communist Party of India (Marxist) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury made a controversial statement on Hindus recently. He said religious epics Ramayana and Mahabharata show how Hindus can also be violent. Earlier, Sadhvi Pragya Singh claimed that Hindus don’t believe in violence.
In counter to that, Yechury said kings in mythologies fought battles and Ramayana, Mahabharata are mostly filled with violence and wars. In a public meeting, he said: “Being a pracharak, you narrate the epics but still claim Hindus cannot be violent?”.
He said that it a false idea that Hindu don’t believe in violence as our historic and epic stories don’t verify this claim. “What is the logic behind saying there is a religion which engages in violence and we Hindus don’t,” he added. Many people extended their support to his statement saying both Raavan and Kamsa, being Hindus, are violent than anyone in history.
Finally, Yechury went on to attack the BJP and urged the public to vote for Digvijaya Singh and defeat Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur from Bhopal.
