Sachin Pilot Accuses BJP of Divisive Politics, Highlights 1991 Religious Places Law

By A Staff Reporter

Tonk, Rajasthan: Congress leader Sachin Pilot has raised concerns over what he describes as deliberate attempts to divert public attention from pressing issues such as farmers' struggles, inflation, and unemployment. Referring to the recent incidents in Sambhal, Pilot alleged that such acts are part of a strategy to polarize the nation for political gains.

“A law was passed in 1991, unanimously by the Parliament, stating that all religious places post-Independence will be preserved as they are,” Pilot remarked, emphasizing the need to uphold this law. He suggested that the ongoing tensions, including cases related to Sambhal and Ajmer, are fueled by forces attempting to distract citizens from critical national issues.

Speaking about the recent deaths of innocent individuals in Sambhal, Pilot condemned the actions taken to prevent Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi from visiting the families of the victims. “Today Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi wanted to meet the families of those who died in Sambhal, but they were stopped. An attempt is being made to create an atmosphere of tension there because the politics of BJP is based on polarization,” he stated.

Pilot’s remarks come amidst heightened political discourse surrounding communal harmony and the socio-economic challenges facing the country. His statements underscore the Congress party’s commitment to addressing the real issues affecting ordinary citizens while calling out divisive tactics that risk undermining national unity.
