New Delhi. Mamata Banerjee's TMC faction MP Kirti Azad has given a statement about Lord Ram. Kirti Azad's statement has created controversy and the sages and saints have become angry. Mamata Banerjee faction's Lok Sabha MP Kirti Azad has said that he will never visit Ram temple. Kirti Azad also said that among millions of Gods and Goddesses, is Ram the only God? Kirti Azad said that he will never go to Ram temple, because Lord Ram had abandoned his wife Sita and thrown her out of the house despite the ordeal. Kirti Azad said why should I go there. Mamta's MP said that he comes from the birthplace of Mother Sita. Mother Sita was the daughter of Mithila. He said that Mother Sita is my mother. Mother Sita is a mother for every person of Mithila.
Kirti Azad said that even after passing the fire test, you threw her out of the house along with two small innocent children. Kirti Azad did not stop here. He also raised questions on Lord Ram being called Maryada Purushottam. Kirti Azad said what kind of dignity is this? What will I tell the children? I go to Kamakhya. I worship Maa Kali. Kali is my goddess. My father was a devotee of Durga, and I am a devotee of Kali. People consider him Maryada Purushottam, but I will not go there because Mother Sita was my mother. I am from Mithila. Shouldn't I fight for my mother? I will definitely fight and I will not go there. I go to Kali Kamakhya, Dakshina Kali, Kalighat and Kali Temple in Gol Market, Delhi. So does this mean that I am not a Hindu?
#WATCH | Delhi: On Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's proposed visit to the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and the BJP's reaction to it, TMC MP Kirti Azad says, “…Is Lord Ram the only God among the 3,200 crore deities in our country? I will never go there because Lord Ram abandoned his wife, even after she had passed the Agni Pariksha and sent Maa Sita away from his home. Why should I go? I belong to the birthplace of Maa Sita. She was the daughter of Mithila. Maa Sita is my mother. For every person belonging to Mithila, Maa Sita is a mother. You sent her away along with two small, innocent children, even after she had passed the Agni Pariksha. Maryada Purushottam? What kind of Maryada is this? What should I tell children? I visit Kamakhya. I worship Maa Kali. Kali is my goddess. My father was a devotee of Durga, and I am a devotee of Kali. People regard him as Maa Sita. I certainly will, and I will not go there. Does that mean I am not a Hindu.

Actually, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav is going to visit Ram Temple and Hanumangarhi in Ayodhya with his family on 12th December. Kirti Azad was asked to react on the issue of Akhilesh Yadav visiting Ram temple. Sadhus and saints have become angry with Kirti Azad's statement about Lord Ram. According to News18, Mahamandaleshwar Vishnu Das Maharaj said that he will give Rs 5 lakh to whoever brings back the cut tongue of Kirti Azad. Mahamandaleshwar said that those who believe in Sanatan will not tolerate such statements. At the same time, Mahant of Ayodhya, Dr. Deveshacharya Maharaj said that leaders like Kirti Azad do not have the capacity to understand the ideals of Maryada Purushottam Ram. Lord Ram left Mother Sita in the forest to educate and balance the society. Whereas, Jagadguru Paramhans Acharya Maharaj of Tapasvi Chhawni Temple said that on one hand, Kirti Azad is calling Mata Sita as his mother, then his father must also be someone else. Will there be a mother without a father? He termed Kirti Azad's statement as lack of knowledge.
