Hindu ek dhokaa hai : Says Swami Prasad Maurya, Samajwadi Party leader

Enraging statement by Swami Prasad Maurya

New Delhi – Samajwadi Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya, who is infamous for his controversial statements, justified his “Hindu ek dhoka hai” remark.

“In 1955, the Supreme Court said in its order that Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life. It is a conglomeration of more than 200 religions. Even Mohan Bhagwat had said, not once but twice, that Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also said that Hinduism is not a religion. Even Gadkari had said the same thing in a media conclave,” Maurya said while speaking at the National Buddhist and Bahujan Rights Conference in New Delhi on Monday.

When they say these, no one’s sentiments get hurt but when Swami Prasad Maurya says that Hindu is not a religion but a betrayal and what we refer to as Hindu religion is a business for some people, the whole country gets into a storm,” Maurya said.

Maurya hit the headlines in January this year after making derogatory comments about  Ramcharitmanas. In August too, he had said that “Hinduism is a betrayal”.

Editorial Perspective

• In spite of Swami Prasad Maurya’s constant offensive statements about Hindu Dharma, no action is taken against him, it is shameful for the Police, Administration and Hindus.
• If anyone says anything against Islam, legal action is taken but since Hindus are tolerant, no action is taken even through legal means.
