In the latest incident, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee’s spokesperson, Sathya Prakash E tried to mock the 'Hindu Ram Bhakts' by drawing a parallel between vanar sena.

 

Soon after the post went viral, people on the internet were clapping back on the Congress party for their alleged “Hinduphobic” attitude.

 

 

In the image, monkeys were sitting in a plane wearing saffron robes. Sathya Prakash E wrote, “Ram Bhakts off to Ayodhya”. The internet was quick to express its disappointment for allegedly hurting religious sentiments ahead of the most historically anticipated event. Hindu devotees of Bhagwan Ram criticised Congress for the comments made by their spokesperson.

 

The post was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user Theintrepid_. Following the backlash, Sathya deleted the post from FB but did not post any apology for the same.

 

It should be noted that Congress recently refused to attend the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha ceremony scheduled for 22nd January 2024. Furthermore, the grand old party has accused Bharatiya Janata Party of using Bhagwan Ram for “political gain”.
