Congress is anti-Sanatan: BJP targets Kharge over Diwali 'Khushiyon ka Eid' remark

What's behind this

BJP has accused Congress of being anti‑Sanatan after Congress leader Kharge referred to Diwali as ‘Khushiyon ka Eid’, and the party called the comment a political attack. In response, Congress has condemned PM Modi’s remarks calling some opponents ‘dimagi Naxals’, saying he turned Diwali celebrations into a political attack. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh alleged that Modi used the ‘dimagi Naxals’ comment during Diwali events with security personnel in Bastar to target political rivals. Both parties have exchanged accusations over the language used during the festival.
