U.S. firm insults Hindu Gods
UNI
NEW DELHI: India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Saturday
condemned the denigration of Hindu gods by a Seattle-based company in
the United States.
In a statement, party Vice-President Pyarelal Khandelwal said the
company was marketing toilet seats under its “Sacred Seat Collection”
with images of Hindu gods Ganesh and Kali . He described it as “a
contemptible thing to be strongly condemned by all.”
He said a group of people was deliberately denigrating Hindu gods, even
as the United Nations General Assembly had recently adopted a resolution
on equality of religions. The group was fully aware of the fact that
Ganesh and Kali were held sacred by Hindus all over the world.
“What could be the motive? Is it to express their intolerance for a
religion, different from their own? Or they hope to do bumper business
by raking up a controversy with their product?,” the party asked and
said that from every aspect it was condemnable.
Urging the US Government to keep in check religious intolerance, the BJP
hoped that Hindus would not stoop low to reply in the same language and
“ignore such abominable act with the utter contempt it deserves.”
Senior party leader J.P. Mathur said there seemed to be a link between
the campaigners of anti-Christian propaganda and those now indulging in
denigrating Hindu Gods.
“Can this group dare to do it with any other religion?” he asked.
