Swami Prasad Maurya being rewarded for insulting Hindus: BJP

Lucknow, Jan 30: Samajwadi Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya was appointed party’s general secretary on Sunday and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is not happy. A prominent OBC leader in Uttar Pradesh, Maurya kicked up a storm when he claimed that certain verses of the Ramcharitmanas insult a major part of society on the basis of caste. He demanded that these parts be banned and removed.

 

 

 

Now that Maurya has made it to the SP’s national executive, BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi claimed that he was rewarded for speaking against the Ramcharitmanas, considered sacred by the Hindus.

 

 

 

“Swami Prasad Maurya got his award for insulting the Shri Ramcharitmanas. The Samajwadi Party (SP) wants communal harmony to deteriorate in Uttar Pradesh and wants to create caste conflict. They will not succeed in their plan. Akhilesh Yadav's anti-Hindu and casteist faces are out in the open,” Tripathi said.
