Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar reacted to Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis' statement in Nagpur, Maharashtra on Thursday.
He said that ask the leader who talks about saving the religion that this will not happen, that the responsibility of saving the religion will be ours and the responsibility of your children to study in Oxford-Cambridge.
If religion has to be saved, we will save it together. It will not happen that we will save religion and the Deputy CM's wife will make a reel on Instagram.
Fadnavis had said in Aurangabad on November 9 that 'vote jihad' has now started in the state. If they are doing Vote Jihad then we should be ready for 'Religion War'.
Read Kanhaiya Kumar's full speech…
As citizens of this country it is our duty to protect democracy. It is my duty to protect democracy, which is why I am standing here today giving a speech. If this is a religious war and the protection of religion is at stake, then whatever leader tells you about saving religion, you should ask that leader a question – sorry sir, you want to save religion, just tell me one thing, your sons and daughters. But join us in this fight to save religion?
This will not happen, because it is our responsibility to save religion and it is your children's responsibility to study at Oxford-Cambridge. If religion has to be saved then all will save it together. It will not happen that we will save religion and the Deputy CM's wife will make a reel on Instagram.
I told the same thing to a BJP friend. I said friend, religion has to be saved. So come, even the children of the leaders will save religion. So my friend said that Modiji and Yogiji don't have son or daughter. I said – there is a nephew, he will not come with us to save religion.?
We are beginning to understand this intelligence. Baba Saheb Ambedkar said, get organized, get educated, struggle. We ate your salt, we were educated with your tax money. Now we understand this politics, we understand this game.
On Fadnavis's statement, Owaisi said – Where did vote jihad and religious war come from in democracy?
When Owaisi said that votes were not received in Malegaon, Fadnavis called it 'vote jihad'. They also lost in Ayodhya, how did it happen there?
