BJP leader CR Kesavan on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Congress party for its centenary celebrations of the 1924 Belagavi Congress Session, saying that this session is a "monumental mockery of the principles of Mahatma Gandhi."
Sharpening his attack, Kesavan claimed that if Mahatma Gandhi was alive and had witnessed the sins of the Congress, he would have gone on a Satyagraha and fasted to death. He said that the current Congress party is functioning on the "absolute anti-thesis" of Mahatma Gandhi and his ideals. "Rahul Gandhi's Congress is the absolute anti-thesis of Mahatma Gandhi and his ideals. This Belagavi session of Congress is a monumental mockery of Mahatma because the Congress party with contempt has dumped the principles of Mahama Gandhi in the dustbin. Congress is calling it 'Nav Satyagraha Baithak', a new Satyagraha, if Gandhiji was alive and had witnessed the sins of the Congress, he would have gone on a Satyagraha and fasted to death," Kesavan told ANI. "Imagine Gandhiji witnessing the 1984 riots, the emergency engendered by the Congress party, he would have fought it. He would have fought the Congress party with his last breath. Gandhiji, he would have never approved of this dynastic culture and he would have ensured and he would have finished the Congress party for the corruption, scams and scandals which were endangered during various Congress rules and especially the UPA. Mahatma Gandhi talked about Ram Rajya. This Congress government you know and UPA filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court saying there is no Ram. And then Gandhiji said he is a proud Sanatani Hindu. Here the Congress party is against Hindu dharma and they are in cahoots in alliance with people who want to eliminate Sanatana Dharma. This is the hypocrisy of the Congress party...." he added. Congress will hold a two-day session of its Congress Working Committee (CWC), and a rally in Belagavi, Karnataka, on December 26 and 27 to commemorate the centenary of the 1924 Belagavi Congress Session.
