Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat warned that anyone who speaks against Sanatana Dharma will face severe consequences, “their tongue will be pulled out and their eyes will be plucked out,’’ he said while addressing an election rally in Rajasthan’s Barmer district. 

Shekhawat said “Some people are trying to end Sanatana Dharma that our ancestors preserved at the cost of their lives.’’ He added that those who speak against the Sanatana Dharma will not be able to establish their political power and stature in the country.

“We will not tolerate them anymore. I want to inform those who speak against Sanatana Dharma that we will pull out their tongues if they do so. Those who look at it with disdain, we will pluck out every such eye,” the union minister said during BJP’s Parivartan Sankalp Yatra.

The minister’s remarks drew criticism from AIMIM’s Chief Asaduddin Owaisi, who shared the video of the minister and attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that the minister was advocating violence and that it was going to be an “Open Season”.

“As G20 is over & Point 78 of declaration has no relevance the Honourable Minister of Narendra Modi’s cabinet advocates violence. So now it is going to be an open season,” Owaisi wrote on microblogging site X (formerly Twitter).
