Shiv Sena UBT Challenges Bhagwat’s Global Hinduism Message
Krishna consciousness in US, polarisation in India: Shiv Sena(UBT) in 'Saamana' · thehansindia.com

Mohan Bhagwat recently spoke in New York about treating all people as part of one human family.

He said that someone who wants Muslims removed from India is not following true Hindu values.

Shiv Sena (UBT) said these words should also guide politics inside India.

Its newspaper, Saamana, accused BJP leaders and activists of encouraging religious and social division.

The editorial mentioned an alleged purification ceremony in Haldwani after a speech by Mallikarjun Kharge.

It also criticized the RSS for not speaking about civilian deaths in Gaza.

Shiv Sena (UBT) further raised allegations about money connected to the Ayodhya Ram Temple project.

The party said spiritual teachings should lead to fairness and less political division.

“Such is the extreme nature of religion, caste, and inhumane behaviour within the BJP. Do these antics fit into the Krishna Consciousness articulated by Bhagwat in America? Come to India and speak a bit about this as well.”

“The Hindu community in America donated heavily for the construction of the Ram Temple, which was looted in Ayodhya. Neither PM Modi nor the Sarsanghchalak commented on this loot.”
