Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], November 12 (ANI): Coming out in support of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s slogan “batenge toh katenge” (divided we perish), Jagadguru Rambhadracharya said on Tuesday that the statement is true as a single finger is weak but a fist is strong.
Speaking to ANI, Jagadguru emphasized that even if the sects are different, all of Hindus should be united.
“This is true. We don’t have to get divided. ‘Chahe panth anek ho, hum sab Hindu ek hon’ (Even if the sects are different, all of us Hindus should be united). No one would be able to harm us if we are one. A single finger is weak but a fist is strong,” he said.
Notably, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had given the slogan ‘batenge to katenge’ while speaking at a campaign rally in Maharashtra. After that, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave the slogan ‘ek hai toh safe hai’.
Further, responding to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement on “Sadhus”, Jagadguru Shri Rambhadracharya Ji said that Bhagwadhari should do politics.
“Where is it written? Should goons be into politics? Should loafers do politics? ‘Bhagwadhari’ should do politics. Bhagwa is a colour of ‘Bhagwan’. Shivaji hoisted the same Bhagwa flag and united the whole nation and Maharashtra. Bhagwadhari should do politics. Suited-booted should not do politics in India,” he added.
On Sunday, Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge, while speaking at an election rally in Maharashtra, took a jibe at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath without taking his name and said that many of the leaders live in the guise of sadhus and have now become politicians and some have even become chief minister as well.
Speaking at the Samvidhan Bachao Sammelan’, the Congress President also slammed Adityanath for his recent ‘batoge toh katogey’ (If we divide, we will be cut), a slogan calling for Hindu unity, and accused him (Yogi) of spreading hatred.
“Many leaders live in the guise of sadhus and have now become politicians. Some have even become chief ministers. They wear ‘gerua’ clothes and have no hair on their heads…I would say to the BJP, either wear white clothes or if you are a sanyasi wear ‘gerua’ clothes, then get out of politics. On the one hand, you wear ‘gerua’ clothes and on the other hand, you say ‘batoge toh katogey’…They are spreading hatred among the people and trying to divide them…,” Kharge said. (ANI)
