Union Minister Giriraj Singh recently sparked controversy in Bihar. He claimed India’s 1947 partition happened on religious lines. Muslims moved to Pakistan, and Hindus stayed in India. Singh argued that if Hindus had stayed together, leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav would not have risen in politics.
Singh criticized Congress and RJD for ignoring the effects of partition. He said these parties silence the history of the split and prevent future leaders from understanding it. Singh emphasized that political leaders should face historical facts.
Opposition parties, including Congress and RJD, quickly condemned his remarks. They accused Singh of using the sensitive topic for political advantage. However, Singh defended his views. He argued it is important to acknowledge the truth about India’s past.
This controversy adds fuel to the ongoing battle between the BJP and opposition parties, especially on issues related to Pakistan’s role in India’s history.
