Bengaluru, Aug 31: Leaders of Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal (Secular) on Wednesday criticized the Congress leader and former Mandya MP Ramya, who had questioned the role of Sangh Parivar in India's freedom movement and urged the people to stay united.
The actor-turned-politician had claimed that leaders of Rashtriya Swayamsewak Snagh and Bharatiya Janata Party had supported British when Congress plunged into the India's freedom movement. “Today, BJP leaders talk of nationalism and patriotism to fool the people. Where were they during the independence struggle?” she questioned.
Reacting to her statements, JD(S) leader former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy said, Ramya should not issue such statements for publicity. “Farmers of Mandya district and the state are facing drought. She should concentrate on such issues,” he suggested.
“I have read about the freedom struggle in history books. There are contradictory opinions about V D Savarkar, Subhashchandra Bose and a few others. They have been portrayed as good and also bad leaders. Hence, one should be careful while issuing such statements,” he added.
Melkote MLA K S Puttanaiah, Ramya's remarks on RSS or its sister organisations were only indicative of poor understanding of the freedom struggle wherein a large number of people took part without an organisational banner.
“But, who is Ramya? What is her relevance in State or national polity? Why is she being so much importance at the expense several burning problems of the common man and farmers in the State? She has neither understanding of matters nor has the righteousness, yet keeps speaking on issues as per her own whims and fancies,” he said.
Meanwhile, BJP leader and Mysuru MP Pratap Simha, taking a dig at Ramya sought to know the role of Congress in India's first freedom movement.
“Ramya is an actor. In movies you can read scripts and act. But, in politics there will be no script. You should be careful before issuing any statement,” Mr Simha said asking her to learn history.
