Congress candidate Dr. Ajoy Kumar has demanded the immediate dismissal of a BJP Union Minister, following recent remarks made by the minister that allegedly insulted Sikh religious leaders. Addressing a gathering and later releasing a press statement on Wednesday, Dr. Ajoy condemned the BJP’s approach, accusing the party of repeatedly indulging in divisive politics.
“BJP’s history shows a pattern of disrespect towards various communities, and it has not refrained from targeting the Sikh community either,” said Dr. Ajoy , pointing out that during the farmers' protests, members of the Sikh community were labeled as terrorists by certain BJP leaders. “The Sikh community has always been at the forefront of defending the country, and no one has the right to disrespect any religion. India is a secular nation that upholds respect for all religions, and this is the essence of our country,” he added.
Dr. Ajoy further expressed concern over the recent assault of a Sikh youth allegedly by the sons of a BJP leader. "It is appalling to see BJP's aggression towards ordinary Sikh citizens. Election results aren’t even out yet, and BJP leaders are already displaying this behavior. Imagine what could happen if they win," he cautioned.
Urging Jamshedpur's residents to choose wisely, Dr. Ajoy appealed, "The people must decide: do they want an atmosphere of lawlessness, or a safe and progressive Jamshedpur?”
