Hindustan Surkhiyan Desk: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday paid glowing tributes to Kailash Mansarovar, saying there was no hatred at the holy place.
Now on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, Gandhi tweeted: “The waters of lake Mansarovar are so gentle, tranquil and calm. They give everything and lose nothing. Anyone can drink from them. There is no hatred here. This is why we worship these waters in India.”
He attached pictures of the Mansarovar lake and Kailash mountain.
“A man goes to Kailash when it calls him.
I am so happy to have this opportunity and to be able to share what I see on this beautiful journey with all of you,” Gandhi said.
Gandhi left on the pilgrimage on August 31.
BJP MP Anurag Thakur has slammed a Facebook post by a former Congress legislator on the festival of Janmashtami, drawing Rahul Gandhi’s attention to the “anti-Hindu” sentiment displayed there.
Former Congress MLA from Jawali in Kangra district Neeraj Bharti’s post carried an illustration from the story of Krishna, watching gopis bathe in the Yamuna, and asked “Aaj Iska Janamdin Hai Kya” (Is today His birthday).
Alleging that Gandhi’s Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a farce, the BJP chief whip in parliament stated, “Such a derogatory post under your protection is an attack on the religious sentiments of the people.”
