Samajwadi Party national spokesperson Rajkumar Bhati faces legal scrutiny after participating in a public oath renouncing faith in Hindu deities during an event in Delhi on Sunday. Following the circulation of footage from the gathering across social media platforms, law enforcement authorities in Uttar Pradesh lodged an official police complaint against the political leader for allegedly hurting religious sentiments and attempting to disrupt communal harmony.
Police Action at Dadri Police Station
The criminal case was registered at the Dadri police station following an official complaint submitted by Ved Nagar, president of Goraksha Hindu Dal. According to the complaint, the viral video clip showing Rajkumar Bhati taking the pledge has caused widespread distress to the religious convictions of millions of Hindus. Nagar claimed in his submission that the actions witnessed at the public gathering were an intentional effort to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere of the country.
Historical Legacy of the Gurjar Community
In his complaint, Ved Nagar invoked significant historical figures to highlight the traditions of the Gurjar community. He noted that legendary icons like Chakravarti Samrat Mihir Bhoj, Veerangana Ram Pyari Gurjar, Rajmata Gujri, and Ramavtar Bhati represent the proud heritage and historical dignity of the community. Nagar stressed that despite being born into the Gurjar community, Rajkumar Bhati chose a public platform in Delhi to speak against Hindu deities, Lord Shri Ram, Lord Shri Krishna, and the foundational beliefs of Sanatan Dharma.
The complainant emphasized that the standing of the Gurjar community is not defined by any individual's political identity, but rather by its rich history, Sanatan traditions, cultural values, patriotism, and the supreme sacrifices of ancestors. He affirmed that the community does not consider anyone who publicly undermines Sanatan Dharma beliefs as an ideal or a role model.
Allegations of Political Opportunism
The complaint alleged that the Samajwadi Party spokesperson deliberately insulted traditional deities and Sanatan Dharma in an attempt to serve narrow political interests. Ved Nagar noted that such actions cannot be tolerated as they directly injure the collective faith and honor of believers. He argued that the leader's conduct has deeply hurt the sentiments of both the Gurjar community and the broader Sanatan faith followers.
Urging strict lawful measures, the complainant stated that public figures cannot be permitted to disturb public peace through provocative acts. Police officials in Dadri are examining the complaint and the recorded video evidence to determine further legal steps in accordance with statutory procedures.
