BJP DIVERTS ATTENTION FROM REAL PROBLEMS

-

The controvers­y around Taj Mahal is a part of the BJP’s larger project to rewrite history. Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath was the first to start this a few months back. This was followed by the UP tourism department when it omitted Taj Mahal from the list of tourist destinatio­ns in the state. BJP MLA Sangeet Som then claimed that Shah Jahan imprisoned his father and prosecuted Hindus. Little does he know that it was Aurangzeb who imprisoned his father Shah Jahan. The Centre and the BJP are manufactur­ing these controvers­ies to divert people’s attention from problems like price rise, mounting unemployme­nt, corruption, among others. SK Khosla, Chandigarh
