The BJP on Monday accused the Congress of indulging in &ldquo;appeasement politics&rdquo; and hurting the sentiments of Hindus after AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge described Diwali as an &ldquo;Eid of happiness&rdquo;.
BJP spokesperson <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/delhi-hc-asks-cjp-leaders-to-voluntarily-remove-posts-in-gaurav-bhatias-rs-2-crore-defamation-suit-23649330" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Gaurav Bhatia</a> alleged that the Congress had made it a practice to disrespect Hindu religious traditions while attempting to appease the Muslim community.
Congress leader Pawan Khera defended Kharge, saying those criticising the remark were &ldquo;semantically ignorant&rdquo; as the word &lsquo;&rsquo;Eid&rsquo;&rsquo; literally means &ldquo;festival&rdquo;.
