Religious leaders need to always spread message of love not hate

A prominent religious leader who was conferred with the highest Padma Shri award recently for his distinguished service in the field of spiritualism was shockingly heard blacklisting the minorities by portraying them as main culprits responsible for the allege forcible religious conversions/demolition of Hindu temples. Well, it looks like he wants to somehow  become a spokesperson, if not a brand ambassador of the ruling BJP government in the state.  Or maybe, he wants to emulate UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and wants to slowly join politics by issuing his most outrageous statements against all minorities in Goa/India. Otherwise, why is he suddenly trying to instigate our peace-loving Hindus by spreading some anti-minority lies instead of raising his voice against all the real issues like poverty, unemployment, corruption, etc?

Well, I personally feel that if such religious leaders want to stay in the news then instead of  instigating our peace-loving Hindus by spreading their own imaginary lies of 'Hindu Khatre Mein' at the behest of the BJP/Sangh Parivar leaders, they should seriously start raising their voice against the real issues and spread the message of love & peace throughout Goa/India.
