In 2002, 59 karsevaks were killed after a coach of the Sabarmati Express was set on fire. Known as the Godhra train burning case, this triggered a massive riot across Gujarat.

The former minister Ravi Shankar Prasad attacked the opposition’s INDIA bloc and made accusations that the parties have an agenda behind attacking Sanatana Dharma for vote bank politics. He also questioned why the opposition was silent over DMK leader Stalin’s remark on Sanatana Dharma. Sonia Gandhi also chose not to speak on the matter and remain silent.

“The BJP will urge this alliance to come out with a categorical resolution that we completely disassociate ourselves (from DMK’s criticism) and this is not our agenda,” the senior BJP leader said.
