To avoid the same fate as Bangladeshi Hindus, stay united : BJP MLA Nitesh Rane
In a march held at Oros in Sindhudurg District, BJP MLA Nitesh Rane said that if the Bangladesh Government does not immediately stop the killings and torture of Hindus in Bangladesh, Bangladeshi people in Sindhudurg District and Maharashtra will not be spared. They will be expelled. Atrocities being done in Bangladesh are not being done because of any caste, but because of being a Hindu. They are being hunted down for being Hindus. Action is taken against organizations like ISKCON. Their priests were arrested. Their lawyers are killed. The voice of those working for Hindus is being silenced today. On this occasion, MLA Rane appealed to Hindus to be united so that what is happening in Bangladesh today does not happen in India tomorrow.
MLA Nitesh Rane criticizes human rights activists
Where are those who come to India and teach human rights ? What are they doing against the atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh ? What does the Human Rights Commission do when Muslim clerics in Bangladesh say ‘Hindus have no place there’. Should only Hindus observe brotherhood, questioned Nitesh Rane.
MLA Nitesh Rane questions fanatics Muslims
If you say that you don’t want Narendra Modi to be the Prime Minister, you don’t want a Hindu Government, then how come most of the Muslims are benefiting from the schemes of this Government ? If your religion is important to you, why take advantage of Government schemes ? The beneficiaries of Chief Minister – Ladki Bahin Yojana are more likely to be from this community. Therefore, the I demand to the Chief Minister that women having more than 2 children should be excluded from this scheme so that more and more Hindus will benefit from this scheme.
