Senior BJP leader and former Union Cabinet Minister Shri Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi today said here that a "mental asylum is the right place for Sanatan Bashing Brigade for treatment of their insanity".

Participating in BJP's nation-wide "Meri Maati, Mera Desh" campaign in Patwai, Rampur, Shri Naqvi said that the "Sanatan Dharma is the soul of Bharat" and those who are trying to attack the soul of Bharat, will get ravaged.

Shri Naqvi said that if someone attacks the Sanatan Dharma, the oldest faith on the Earth, it reflects his "mental illness". Shri Naqvi said that the Sanatan values, which are based on the essence of "Sarve Bhavantu Sukinah" and "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam", is the golden gift for "Manviya Mulya" (human values), "Maryada" (dignity) and "Manyata" (beliefs) for the entire humanity.

Shri Naqvi said that unfortunately, attacking the “Sanatan Dharma” has become a “fashion of frustrated fraternity." The “blasphemous bankruptcy” of “Sanatan Bashing Brigade” will backfire as these people are trying to collide the “bushes of lies” with the “mountain of truth”.

Shri Naqvi said that Bharat has witnessed hundreds of foreign invasions which not only looted resources but also attacked the Sanatan values and Bharatiya culture and identity. From the attack of Greece's Alexander in 327 BC and Cyrus of Persia, invasions by Ghazini in 1000 AD and Ghori, Timur, Nadir Shah, Babur in different years and the British rule through proxy war in 1757, these foreign invaders succeeded in looting the immense resources of Bharat but they could not succeed in their nefarious design to destroy the culture and Sanatan values of this great country.

Shri Naqvi said that the ongoing "communal and criminal attack" on the Sanatan culture is "not by chance, but by choice". It's our national duty to work together to defeat any such intentional and deliberate designs against Bharatiya culture and values.

Shri Naqvi said that while the entire world is lauding Bharat, the Congress and Rahul Gandhi have become "merchants of misinformation" and "contractors of conspiracies" against Bharat in foreign countries.

Shri Naqvi said that unable to digest growing global stature of Bharat, the "democratically defeated dynasty" always activates their "drive to denigrate and defame" the country.

Under the BJP's "Meri Maati, Mera Desh" campaign, Shri Naqvi collected soil from rural areas of Patwai, Rampur. Rampur Lok Sabha MP Shri Ghanshyam Lodhi, Zila Panchayat Chairman Shri Khyaliram Lodhi, BJP district president Shri Abhay Gupta and other leaders also graced the occasion.
