Hindus should learn unity from Islam, says UP MLA Raja Bhaiya
Jansatta Dal (Loktantrik) chief Kunwar Raghuraj Pratap Singh suggested Hindus prioritise their faith over political party affiliations.
Uttar Pradesh MLA and Jansatta Dal (Loktantrik) chief Kunwar Raghuraj Pratap Singh, also known as Raja Bhaiya, said on Saturday that Hindus should learn from Islam on how to stay united. Speaking to PTI Video, the Kunda Assembly constituency representative suggested that Hindus should not be confined by political party boundaries.
According to The Hindu, Singh noted that while many Muslims belong to various political groups like the Congress, Samajwadi Party, or Left parties, Islam remains their priority. He stated that when addressing Hindutva, Hindus must remember they are Hindus first, as political parties will come and go.
Singh said that faith towards the Divine, Dharma, and the Sanatan tradition must be firm and openly expressed. Responding to questions about divisions between 'soft' and 'hardcore' Hindutva, he remarked that nothing is hidden from God, comparing it to a CCTV camera that captures both the inside and outside.
The MLA added that, barring one or two exceptions, most political parties do not want unity or solidarity among Hindus, though he declined to name specific parties. He also defended spiritual preacher Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, stating that Shastri advocates for Hindu unity and the eradication of the caste system.
Regarding the Ram Katha scheduled in Kunda from November 17 to November 20, Singh said the objective is to spread the glory of Lord Ram. He informed that approximately 500 Pakistani Hindu refugees will attend the event to share accounts of atrocities faced in Pakistan.
