Not surprised by attack on monks in politically-violent Bengal: Assam CM Himanta

IndiaTimes Saturday, 13 January 2024
Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said that he was not astonished over the attack on 'sadhus' (monks) in the politically charged environment of West Bengal. Allegedly, a mob attacked three monks en route to Gangasagar Mela in Purulia district, suspecting them of being "kidnappers in disguise." Purulia Police, however, asserted that the incident resulted from a misunderstanding between the monks and three girls due to language barriers, dismissing any communal implications in the event. Sarma also mocked Rahul Gandhi's upcoming 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' as 'anyay yatra' (rally of injustice).

Rahul Gandhi's 'Shakti' Slip: BJP latches on, Rocky Political Journey Amid Elections for Cong?

Rahul Gandhi's recent statement at the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra's finale in Mumbai sparked controversy. While attempting to criticise BJP's tactics, his mention of "Shakti" in Hindu dharma was perceived differently, leading to BJP using it against Congress and Rahul. Congress defended Gandhi, attributing his words to BJP's power through RSS and 'Manuvaad.' However, the incident highlights the importance of careful language in political discourse, especially during elections, to avoid unintended consequences and misinterpretations. #RahulGandhi #BJPvsCongress #LanguageMatters #HinduDharma #ShaktiRow ~HT.97~PR.282~
