Taking on I.N.D.I.A, Patra referred to 14-member coordination committee set to meet at Shar Pawar’s residence this evening as “Anti-Hindu Coordination Committee”. “But before coordination, non-coordination and non-cooperation has begun... This is not a meeting for campaign or seat sharing..ir only aim is to abolish Hinduism... meeting is on same topic..y called Hinduism dengue and malaria, corona, leprosy, and AIDS. y compare Hinduism with such diseases. y called it a world menace," said Patra during his press conference. 

“It’s not a slip of tongue, it’s a design,” said BJP leer Sambit Patra citing objectionable references me to Sanatan Dharma.

Why AAP is supporting Uddhav’s remarks: Patra 

Patra also attacked former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray’s Godhra remarks and questioned Aam Ami Party’s support for same.
