New Delhi [India], November 5 : Punjab BJP State President Sunil Kumar Jakhar criticised the religious comment made by BJP leader Sandeep Dayma during an election rally in Rajasthan's Alwar and said that no apology would assuage the hurt and anger caused by the insensitive remark.
Calling out the comment made by the BJP leader in Rajasthan, Jakhar said that the "Outburst of the Rajasthan leader against the religious sentiments of fellow citizens cannot be condoned".
"I have apprised Central leadership of the hurt caused to people by his reprehensible statement. State BJP Unit has recommended exploring of all options to ensure no repetition of such misconduct takes place, as no apology would assuage hurt and anger caused by this insensitive remark", he added
Sandeep Dayma in an election rally at Rajasthan's Alwar, made an outrageous remark, which triggered the Sikh community.
In an election rally in support of the BJP's Balaknath, in Alwar, BJP leader Sandeep Dayma reportedly said, "See how many Mosques, Gurdwaras have been built here! This will become an ulcer for us in the future. That is why it's our duty that this ulcer be uprooted and thrown out, and Baba Balak Nathji win by a huge majority."
BJP's leader's comment created anger among the Sikh community, leading to protests and the burning of effigies of Dayma.
Opposition parties reacted strongly to the comment after the video went viral on social media.
Congress MP Jasbir Singh Gill also came down heavily on the BJP leader over his harsh remarks.
"The Gurdwaras have always served humanity and never asked about anybody's religion or caste. Whether it was Corona or any other natural calamity, the doors of Gurdwaras, donation boxes and langar have always remained open for everybody. The low-level thinking and psychology of people like Sandeep will cost them dear--Nanak Naam Chardi Kala, Tere Bhane Sarbat da Bhala", Jasbir Singh said in a post on X.
Facing huge criticism from the opposition over his remarks, Dayma issued an apology in a video message on his social media platform.
"In place of Masjid-Madrasa, I mistakenly ended up using some wrong words about the Gurdwara Saheb. I seek apology with folded hands from the entire Sikh community, which has always protected Hinduism and Sanatan Dharma... I don't know how I committed the mistake. I will repent for this mistake by going to a Gurdwara. I apologise to the entire Sikh community with folded hands. Sat Sri Akal!" Dayma said in the video.
