Congress has no respect for Hindus or Sanatan Dharma, said Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika on November 11 in a scathing attack over the recent remarks made by its MLA Aftabuddin Mollah about priests.
Congress MLA Aftabuddin Mollah Made Hate Speech Against Hindu Religion: Pijush Hazarika
“In Assam, one Congress MLA Aftabuddin Mollah made hate speech against our Hindu religion. Congress has no respect for Hindu, Sanatan Dharma,” Pijush Hazarika said.
Earlier on November 8, the Assam Police said that it arrested a Congress MLA for allegedly making derogatory remarks about priests, Namghoriyas (residents of Namghariya village in the Dhemaji district) and seers.
Pijush Hazarika alleged that the Congress party has no identity without the Gandhi family. “Congress is a blue-blooded party. This is totally a family party. Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi are the boss of the Congress party and the remaining others are just employees only. They can’t say anything against the bosses,” he added.
