00:00So Malikarjan Khadge, of course, ahead of the occasion of Diwali, was approached by media persons and he was wishing
00:05one and all.
00:06It seemed like a fine greeting on the surface.
00:08But the manner in which it was said and the terms that were used, was it a strategy, a slip
00:13of tongue, or according to his common used parlance,
00:17or was this an appeasement strategy, as the BJP is claiming?
00:20The BJP has immediately jumped on this, and not just the Bharatiya Janata Party, interestingly.
00:25What Malikarjan Khadge said, extending Diwali wishes, said, this is khushiyon ki eid, eid of happiness.
00:32And this is the longest eid of peace that there is, urging everyone also to stay united and work toward
00:38betterment of the nation.
00:40So apart from the BJP that said this was anti-Sanatan, even the AIMIM, Asaduddin Ovesi's party, also has jumped
00:48in.
00:48So what did the BJP say?
00:49They're accusing Congress of appeasement, vote-bank politics, anti-Sanatan, asking why was this Diwali-Eid analogy required?
00:56And said, BJP, mentioning here, that even for Congress, we'll now say it's a Rahul Gandhi-Meer Jafar comparison.
01:03That Sonia Gandhi admitted that she wept for Barbary mosque structure.
01:08AIMIM, meanwhile, also criticised the comparison, saying this is all being said because of Uttar Pradesh upcoming elections.
01:20A.P.A.V.I.P.A.V.I.P.A.V.I.P.A.L.E.E.K.
01:23It is a feast for everyone, and it is a feast for a long time to go to a long
01:31time.
01:32So, for people to live with peace and peace, and to meet their people, it is a good thing.
01:43My appeal is to keep peace in the country.
01:54The people who have made the Rahul Gandhi family in my heart, are the only people who speak the Malikarjana.
02:04And this is not going to play from today.
