Congress office painted saffron, Nath said saffron is not BJP’s trademark
Bhopal . State Congress headquarters turned saffron on Sunday. Here all veteran leaders including former Chief Minister Kamal Nath threw light on their spirituality. Kamal Nath said that the priest of the temple is the servant of the society and the basic spirit of the society works to connect people towards spirituality. He questioned, is BJP’s trademark on saffron? Has BJP taken the contract of Hindu religion? He said that mahants and priests should be given freedom to promote spirituality. Because he is the protector of the country’s culture. In a way the priests lead the society.
The occasion was of Dharma-Samvad, Temple Priest Autonomy Resolution Day workshop organized under the aegis of MP Congress Temple Priest Cell. On this occasion, the entire State Congress office was decorated with saffron color and flag. Apart from the priests, the workers were also dressed in saffron colour, the state Congress President Kamal Nath himself also wore a saffron colored gamchha. Nath lit the lamp after worshiping the picture of Ram Darbar in the office before addressing the office bearers of the cell. In his address, he said that the biggest strength of India is the spiritual power which unites the people of the society. When we go to the temple, worship, then BJP’s stomach hurts. Has the BJP taken the contract of Hindu religion, has the BJP taken the contract of saffron. The spiritual power of our country is linked to the culture of the country and it is because of the culture of our country that people of all classes stand together under one flag. We have to make protectors of culture to protect our culture, so that future generations can be safe.
Nath said that the BJP brings up the issue of Ram temple in the elections, don’t we want the Ram temple to be built, should you know that it was Rajiv Gandhi who got the lock of the Ayodhya temple opened. I am worried about today’s new generation, who pay more attention to WhatsApp and internet leaving social values and spiritual feelings, you have to attract this new generation towards spirituality. In our 15-month government, we started schemes for the upliftment of temples, maths, took the initiative to construct the Mahakal Corridor. Approved the amount planned for Ramvan Gaman Path, honored the priests. BJP only uses religion for politics. She does it for show off, she has nothing to do with religion and spirituality.
Former Minister and MLA PC Sharma said that Kamal Nath had entrusted me with the responsibility of spiritual department in the Congress government. On whose instructions the Congress government had prepared several schemes for temples and maths, which were also implemented. The honorarium of temple priests was increased, they were given other rights.
Shiv Narayan Sharma, president of the MP Congress temple priest cell, submitted a memorandum thanking Kamal Nath and all the leaders present through his cell, in which the name of the collectors should be removed from the temples, the priest should be made an administrator, appointment by dynasty tradition and Demanded that the priests should be given rights like ordinary farmers when the Congress government is formed. Sudhir Bharti, state youth president of the cell, keeping his point in a poetry-filled manner, said that we are being removed from the temples, our honor is being looted at the crossroads, bulldozers are being used on land and rollers are being used on crops, We are being suppressed by the voice of the police, we are being called small.
On this occasion, State Vice President Chandraprabhash Shekhar, Rajeev Singh, J.P. Dhanopia, Aunkardas Vaishnav, Mahamandaleshwar Sonu Maharaj, Bhupendra Nagar Rajesh Sharma and office bearers and workers from all over the state were present.
