Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday appealed the central government to print the images of Hindu gods on Indian currency along with “Father of Nation”. He said,”if Indonesia can, why can’t we?”
“If the gods are on the currency notes, the entire country will get their blessings. Lakshmi is the goddess of prosperity and Lord Ganesha is a god who keeps away troubles,”Arvind Kejriwal said.
The Aam Aadmi Party chief’s statement sparked political words war with oppositions. BJP responded,Kejriwal’s Hindu love has woken up just before the Assembly election in Gujarat to hide its “anti-hindu face”.
The Delhi Congress also reacted and called for his resignation for “violating” the secular principles enshrined in the constitution just for cheap political mileage.
AAP leader Atishi said,”BJP leaders can hate Kejriwal but why hate Hindu gods Lakshmi and Ganesh? Do you not want the blessings of our gods to be with the people of the country? I humbly request leaders of the BJP not to oppose this noble proposal.”
Delhi Congress chief Anil Kumar said that Kejriwal assumed a constitutional post as the Chief Minister of Delhi by swearing on the secular principles enshrined in the constitution. “With his demand, he has lost the confidence of the people of Delhi, which is a mini-India, consisting of people of all faiths, religions and caste.”
