Just as we find a Temple under a Mosque, we will find a Stupa under a Temple :

Congress Minister Priyank Kharge’s ridiculous statement to appease Muslims

Congress minister Priyanka Kharge

Bengaluru (Karnataka) – “If you look deep into history, you will find a stumbling block. Just as temples are found when mosques are demolished, stupas will be found when temples are demolished. I do not know what will be found when stupas are demolished. I am making this statement based on 3,500 years of history”, said Priyank Kharge, Karnataka Rural Development and Panchayat Raj and IT/BT Minister at an event organised in Bengaluru, Karnataka.

1. While criticising BJP MP from Bengaluru South, Tejasvi Surya, without naming him, Priyank Kharge said that RSS has never raised its voice against the British. (The people know what the Congress did during the freedom struggle. It was because of the Congress that India was partitioned, and 10 lakh Hindus were massacred. – Editor) BJP and RSS people argue that Tipu Sultan was not a freedom fighter; but Tipu fought 4 wars against the British, isn’t this true ? Aren’t those who fought the British freedom fighters ?, he questioned. (Tipu did fight the British, but it was to save his own territory, not for India’s Independence. Tipu killed lakhs of Hindus and also converted them. Is this not true ? Priyank Kharge should answer this too. – Editor).

2. Priyank Kharge added that Tipu Sultan was the father of horticulture. There is evidence of this. Lalbagh in Bengaluru was built by Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, but the MP from that area is anti-Tipu. Will they burn Lalbagh ?

3. When I visited England, a British historian told me that the names of only a few freedom fighters from India are mentioned in British history books, and Tipu’s name is prominent among them. (The British have written Indian history as per their convenience. It seems this also suits Priyank Kharge. – Editor)

Editorial Perspective

  • Priyank Kharge is admitting in a sense that when mosques are demolished, temples are found beneath them. Now, he should demolish all the mosques in Karnataka and bring out the temples underneath them.
  • It is a fact that no Buddhist Stupa has ever been found under temples anywhere so far; however, temples have been found under mosques !
