PM Modi visits mosque in UAE, but refuses to wear skull-cap in India: Vaghela
Accusing Prime Mnister Narendra Modi of practicing “double standard”, Leader of Opposition in the Gujarat Assembly Shankersinh Vaghela on Tuesday said that while he refused to wear Muslim skull-cap in Ahmedabad during his ‘sadbhavna’ fasts, he went to Abu Dhabi’s Jama Masjid just to attract investments in India.
“This nothing but double standard and highly shameful,” remarked Vaghela.
Regarding Modi’s claim that Abu Dhabi’s rulers announced to allocate land for a temple in Duabi, Vaghela said that the land in question was in fact gifted to the Swaminarayans by an Arab businessman in 2013 and it was in the process of being handed over for the temple.
“But Modi projected it in such a manner as if the UAE government gave the land in his honour. This is total falsehood and highly disappointing coming from the mouth of a PM”, remarked the Congress leader. He said that there were several temples in Dubai, one of them Srinathji ki Haveli for the last 70 years. There was also a Shiv temple and a gurudwara there.
