Abstract

Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Congress party for the "arrest" of Lord Ganesh in Karnataka, accusing them of appeasement. The incident occurred in Bengaluru, where the police locked the Lord Ganesh idol in a police van, causing outrage among Hindu devotees. PM Modi condemned the Congress-led Karnataka government for insulting and undermining Lord Ganpati. He also accused the Congress party of spoiling the religious fervor of Ganesh Utsav. The "arrest" of the Hindu deity happened during a demonstration by Hindu activists protesting against stone-pelting at a Ganesh idol procession. [Extracted from the article]
