"Foreign puppet Rahul Gandhi yet again abuses Hindus and India on foreign soil" - BJP Karnataka

Rahul Gandhi keeping wooing Modi critics and 'firangis' during his US sojourn !

He mocked at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the ritual of 'Pranam' the latter had conducted during the inauguration of the New Parliament Building. Showing disrespect to culture and Hindu tradition, yet again he compared that to 'lying down' and ridiculously said - "Aren’t you happy that I am not lying down?" 

Rahul Gandhi's remarks were in reference to PM Modi's prostration - a good old Hindu and Indian tradition - during the inauguration of the new Parliament building.

"Foreign puppet Rahul Gandhi yet again abuses Hindus and India on foreign soil. The 'Disqualified MP' calls inauguration of new parliament a 'distraction,' & discredits the Dharmic 'Sengol' by terming it a 'drama'. This is a testament to Congress hatred for the Idea of India, its millennia-old traditions & its cultural reawakening," BJP Karnataka tweeted. 

"Narendra Modi is Synonymous with Dharma whereas Rahul Gandhi represents Drama!"

Union Information and Broadcasting minister Anurag Thakur said. When PM Modi visits abroad, he meets the PMs and the Presidents of other countries. Australian PM called PM Modi 'Boss'; probably Rahul Gandhi could not digest this," 

"Rahul Gandhi aims to insult PM Modi but ends up hurting India. He does not even consider India as a country but as a union of states. What does Rahul Gandhi want to achieve by doing all this? See the difference." 

Another BJP leader Shehzad Poonawala also took a dig at Congress party's Tamil Nadu ally DMK. 

"No less than the DMK govt document spoke of Sengol history and relevance but those who love symbols of Gulaami cannot digest this.. in their hatred for BJP they attack Bharatiya symbols, way of life itself !! Does the DMK agree with Rahul on the Sengol installation being called a drama?" Shehzad tweeted. 

Meanwhile 'sickular' media game continues. 'The Hindu' newspaper - the only thing 'Hindu' about the paper is its name....the Chennai-headquartered publication contradicts itself on Sengol vis-a-vis new parliament building, --- now claims "govt’s version is baseless" after publishing the same. 

In an article titled “The Sengol — A historic sceptre with a deep Tamil Nadu connection”, the newspaper had written that the Sengol “was specially commissioned by the Thiruvavaduthurai Adheenam and was handed over to the soon-to-be Prime Minister Nehru before his historic speech, ‘Tryst with Destiny’, given in the Constituent Assembly to announce the birth of the nation freed from British rule.”

While the Hindu on 25 May claimed that Nehru and others didn’t consider the Sengol as a symbol of the transfer of power, on 24 May it had said that handing over of a sceptre to denote the transfer of power has been in practice for nearly 2,000 years since the Sangam Age. 

Quoting a well-known historian and researcher of Sangam Literature, the Hindu had written that the use of Sengol has been mentioned in texts such as the Purananooru, Kurunthogai, Perumpaanatrupadai, and Kalithogai.

The article on 25 also claimed that there is no evidence that C. Rajagopalachari had suggested Nehru to use the Sengol as a ceremonial gesture, a day after making the same claim. 

In the 24 May article, the Hindu wrote, “it was freedom fighter Rajaji (C. Rajagopalachari) who suggested to Nehru the ceremonial gesture, a tradition found to have been documented even in the Chola-era as a symbol of the transfer of power to a new king, according to sources in the Adheenam.”

Why is Sickular army angry?

Basically it was the way the journey/history of this particular Sengol is being depicted—as “another example of Jawaharlal Nehru’s failures to safeguard India's tradition and history”.   

According to the Thiruvavaduthurai Aadeenam, it was a “matter of pride” for Tamil Nadu that Sengol is being installed in the new Parliament building. 

Thiruvavaduthurai Aadeenam Ambalavana Desika Paramacharya Swami has underlined the BJP’s assertion that India’s last Viceroy Lord Mountbatten had given the Sengol, which will be presented to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, to Nehru in 1947.
