Maurya Stirs Controversy With 'Hinduism a Deception' Remark, Cites Past References To Support View
- Swami Prasad Maurya said "Hindu dharma ek dhokha hai" (Hindu religion is a kind of deception)
- He justified the remark by citing that Mohan Bhagwat and PM Modi have said Hinduism is a way of life, not a religion
- He also cited a 1955 Supreme Court order that said Hindu is not a religion but a way of life
- This is not the first time Maurya made controversial remarks against Hinduism
- His party, Samajwadi Party, has distanced itself from his remarks, saying they don't engage in politics of religion
