Rajasthan CM Bhajanlal Sharma Criticizes Congress Over 'Hindu Terror' Term After Malegaon Verdict

By A Staff Reporter

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has sharply criticized the Congress party in the aftermath of the Malegaon blast case verdict, accusing it of having propagated the term “Hindu Terror” for political advantage. His remarks follow the acquittal of all accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, a ruling that has reignited political debate over how the case was framed and prosecuted.

In a social media post, Sharma stated, “The Congress party, under its politics of appeasement, coined the offensive term 'Hindu Terror' to defame Hindus. Through this misleading concept, not only was an attempt made to tarnish the image of Sanatan Dharma, but innocent sadhus, saints, and religious leaders were also targeted.”

He referred to Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement in Parliament, in which Shah asserted that “Hindus can never be terrorists,” and cited Hinduism’s philosophical foundation in Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family) as evidence of its non-violent nature. Sharma called the Malegaon verdict a “historic decision” that demonstrated the impartiality of the judiciary and upheld the principle of Satyameva Jayate (truth alone triumphs).

The Chief Minister further said that the ruling has “exposed the Congress’s anti-Hindu mentality and vote-bank politics,” framing the acquittal as a broader vindication for followers of Sanatan Dharma.
