New Delhi: Samajwadi Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya has sparked a major controversy with his remarks regarding Hinduism. Maurya stated that “Hindu dharma ek dhokha hai (Hindu religion is a kind of deception),” and claimed that even RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have also stated that Hinduism is not a religion but merely “a way of life.”
Maurya further cited a Supreme Court ruling from 1955 to support his claims. He stated, “In 1955, the Supreme Court said in its order that Hindu is not a religion but a way of life.”
This is not the first time Maurya has made such remarks. In August, he shared a video on social media claiming that “Hinduism is just a hoax” and that “there is no religion called Hindu, Hinduism is just a hoax.” He has also previously made controversial comments about Goddess Lakshmi.
The Samajwadi Party has distanced itself from Maurya’s remarks, with Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya stating that such statements are detrimental to the individuals making them. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has emphasized that his party does not engage in politics based on religion.
The remarks made by Swami Prasad Maurya have sparked widespread debate and discussion. The response to these comments is still awaited.
