After CPI(M) Party leaders, Kerala CM too insults 'Hindu Astha', refuses to stand up during the Hindu prayers

Kochi, December 04: After the two Communist Party of India (Marxist) party leaders, who hurt the sentiment of Hindu people by passing derogatory comments against Lord Ayyapa and Adi Shankaracharya, now party's supremo and Kerala's Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan also insulted the Hindu religion.

 

As per the reports, the Kerala CM has refused to stand up during a Hindu prayer. The incident took place during gurusthuti at the inauguration event of the indoor stadium at Narayan College in Kannur.

 

 

 

The video of the event is making rounds on social media and has stoked a row of controversy on the platform. Not just that, he also discourages the person sitting next to him from standing up to pray.

 

Many people, including the KPCC, condemned the chief minister's actions. Sharing a video clip, BJP claimed that the chief minister has insulted 'Hindu astha' by not standing up for a Hindu prayer. Taking a social media account the BJP's Preeti Gandhi took a dig at the CPM leader and asked Would he have shown such disrespect for a prayer of any other religion?! Hindu rituals don't deserve respect??

 

It should be reminded that, last week a CPM leaders insulted Lord Ayyappa saying he was born out of an unnatural relationship. Besides him, another CPM leader Rajesh said Shankaracharya was not the Acharya of Kerala as he “preserved caste system and varnashrama system”.
