Rajnath: UPA is playing with fire

Reacting to the TIMES NOW story on the draft Cabinet note by the Shipping ministry terming Rama Sethu as a natural formation, BJP President Rajnath Singh has reacted strongly saying that the bridge was buit by Lord Rama is a matter of faith and the BJP will give the Centre a fitting reply after the former submits its affidavit to the Supreme Court.

“I believe questions of faith and belief cannot be answered with history and science. We are also waiting to see what kind of an affidavit the Government files in the Supreme Court. We will react only after that,” said Singh today (January 18).

Singh told TIMES NOW off the record however that the UPA was ‘playing with fire’ and would be engulfed by its heat if it chose to stoke the religious passions of the people. He said the Rama Sethu was a matter of faith and non negotiable, and any attempt to classify it as manmade which would entail the UPA dredging it, or cut through it, would not be allowed. The BJP will await the text of the affidavit before giving a fitting reply, added Singh.
