The Madhya Pradesh government has issued a directive to all schools and colleges across the state to celebrate Janmashtami with enthusiasm. The directive emphasizes the importance of the festival and encourages educational institutions to organize events that highlight the cultural significance of the day.
Congress Criticizes the Directive as Politically Motivated
The Congress party has raised objections to the government’s directive, alleging that it is an attempt to impose a particular religious agenda on educational institutions. Senior Congress leaders have accused the ruling BJP of using religious festivals for political gain, particularly in the lead-up to upcoming elections.
BJP Defends the Decision, Calls It a Celebration of Culture
In response to the Congress’s criticism, BJP leaders have defended the directive, arguing that Janmashtami is an integral part of Indian culture and should be celebrated by all. They dismissed the Congress’s allegations as baseless, insisting that the directive is aimed at promoting cultural heritage rather than serving a political agenda.
War of Words Escalates Ahead of Elections
The debate over the Janmashtami directive has further intensified the ongoing war of words between the Congress and BJP in Madhya Pradesh. As both parties gear up for the upcoming state elections, this issue is likely to remain a contentious topic, reflecting the broader ideological divide between them.
