Bengal Tiger Dilip Ghosh comes in support of Nupur Sharma. One of the few BJP leaders who came out to openly support what Nupur Sharma. In India Today Conclave, BJP leader from West Bengal backed the remarks of Nupur Sharma. When the host tried to put a blame on Nupur Sharma for all miss happenings going around the country, Dilip Ghosh retorted and backed Nupur Sharma’s statements and asked Leftists- Islamists or anyone outraging and causing violence due to Nupur’s statements to factually counter what Nupur said.

Dilip Ghosh said “Where was Nupur Sharma before India’s independence when there were riots and thousands were killed. The world is afraid to speak against the ideology that is behind this violence. Those who can’t win arguments are trying to win by swords. If Nupur Sharma said something wrong, and if you have an argument to counter her, do that. Go on news debates and TV channels and call her out. But doing that would strip you naked because you know she has spoken the truth. Therefore, instead of argument, you are using the sword. Gosh further asserted that an ideology cannot be finished off with a sword, highlighting how Hindutva, despite being subjected to attacks for thousands of years, continues to blossom and flourish. If swords could be used to end an ideology, why is Hindutva not dead? Bombs, guns, swords, everything was used by the Muslim rulers. Thousands were slaughtered, but it could not bring an end to Hindutva,”
