In a significant move, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has expelled one of its Rajasthan unit leaders, Sandeep Dayma, following a wave of backlash over his contentious remarks concerning Gurdwaras. The comments, which have deeply upset many in the state, have prompted calls for Dayma’s expulsion, including from former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.
Sandeep Dayma made the controversial statement while speaking in Alwar, Rajasthan, saying, “See how many mosques, Gurdwaras have been built here! This will become an ulcer for us in the future. That is why it is our duty that this ulcer be uprooted and thrown out.”
His comments triggered outrage, as they were seen as insensitive and offensive towards religious institutions, particularly Gurdwaras. Gurdwaras hold great significance for the Sikh community and are places of worship, community service, and hospitality.
In response to the growing condemnation and criticism, the BJP swiftly acted to expel Sandeep Dayma from the party, signaling its disapproval of his remarks. The controversial statement had not only drawn public ire but also led to calls from prominent political figures, including former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, for Dayma’s expulsion.
The BJP’s decision to take disciplinary action underscores the party’s commitment to upholding its principles and maintaining respect for all religious communities. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible and sensitive rhetoric, especially in a diverse and pluralistic society like India.
The expulsion of Sandeep Dayma sends a clear message that the BJP will not tolerate divisive or offensive statements made by its members, and it reaffirms the party’s commitment to maintaining harmony and unity among all communities in Rajasthan and across the nation.
