BHP is against congress principles: Janardhan Poojary

Mangaluru: Formation of Bharatiya Hindu Parishat by the congress leaders has irked former union minister and veteran Congress leader B Janardhan Poojary. He strongly condemned the act of Puttur congress leaders of establishing BHP. He also urged the high command to take stern action against the leaders who started the organisation.

 Speaking in a pressmeet on Thursday January 15 Janardan Poojary said, Congress is a secular party. Starting BHP is anti party activity. It is against constitution. The principles of congress party will be affected by this development.

Strongly criticizing the founders of BHP, Poojary said, there is no need to start an organisation while serving in the party. If they want to do so they can resign to the party membership and start their own organisation. Now there is no difference between BHP, BJP and VHP, he said.

Poojary attacked Modi government for its recent land ordinance and said, union government is all set to bury the farmers alive. Congress while in the power had introduced land ordinance. But Modi government has made some changes in the ordinance and forced it on the farmers. Poojary also accused Modi of being capitalist’s Prime minister.
