BJP demands AAP minister Rajendra Pal Gautam's removal

New Delhi: On Friday, the Delhi BJP demanded that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal fire Rajendra Pal Gautam, accusing him of disrespecting Hindu deities. The Kejriwal administration’s social welfare minister, Gautam, was unavailable for comment right away. Adesh Gupta, the president of the Delhi BJP, accused Gautam of displaying “disrespect” for Hindu deities during a Dussehra programme at Karol Bagh in front of a large crowd. “This is not an isolated incident, it is in the character of the AAP to insult and disrespect Hindu gods and goddesses. We demand Kejriwal immediately expel Gautam from his Cabinet,” Gupta said. BJP MP Manoj Tiwari also demanded Gautam’s sacking, claiming his action could lead to animosity between Hindu and Buddhist communities. Gautam was present in the programme where vows were reportedly taken by people converting to Buddhism to follow Lord Buddha’s teachings and give up the worship of Hindu deities.
