Former Home Minister from Congress Shivraj Patil makes an absolutely rubbish statement and says, ‘In Mahabharata, Shri Krishna tells Arjun about Jihad’
Shivraj Patil’s Controversial Statement:
Senior Congress leader and former Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil has given an objectionable statement regarding Gita. Shivraj Patil said in the program of the release of a book in Delhi on Thursday (October 20) that in the Mahabharata, Shri Krishna tells Arjun about Jihad.
On the occasion of the release of Mohsina Kidwai’s book, Patil said, “The point of Jihad comes when, even after having a clean mind, no one understands after giving all the efforts. Then it is said that If you want to use power, then you should do it. It is not only in Quran Sharif, it is part of Gita inside Mahabharata, in that Shri Krishna ji also tells Arjun about Jihad. It is not only Quran and Gita. Rather, Jesus also wrote.”
