Rajnath Singh tries to woo Muslims, says riots took place during Congress rule too


 

New Delhi : BJP president Rajnath Singh today reached out to the Muslim community saying his party is being defamed and maligned continuously over Gujarat riots under a ”planned conspiracy”.

He said BJP did not believe in politics of divide and difference, and appealed the Muslim community to help in removing the “widespread confusion”.

“BJP is defamed and maligned continuously under a planned conspiracy. You all have seen our government in the Centre when Atal Behari Vajpayee was the Prime Minister. Who can say that we did politics by creating differences between humans?,” he told a group of Muslim leaders who met him at the party
office here.

“Our opposition parties allege that BJP is the party which creates enmity (nafrat) between Hindus and Muslims… I want to make an appeal to you people. If anyone can remove this widespread confusion, only you people can do this and this beginning should be made from Delhi,” he said.

Stressing that BJP’s ideology did not believe in dividing people, he said, “Our ideology and our political thought wants to give only this message that we don’t want to create enmity between humans and we don’t want to make our government by creating divide.”

“If we want to make a government, then we want to base it on the politics of humanity and justice,” Singh said. He also alleged that many more riots have taken place in the country during the Congress regimes.

“Did riots not take place during Congress rule? I can say with confidence that during Congress rule, many more riots took place… We have our government in several of the states… if a riot takes place anywhere, then it should not be assumed that BJP instigated the riot,” Singh said.

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2
