Twenty20, the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) ally in Kerala, has made it clear that it cannot agree with Arvind Kejriwal’s recent proposal to have pictures of Hindu gods Ganesh and Lakshmi printed on Indian currency notes, reports Malayala Manorama.
Sabu M Jacob, chief coordinator of Twenty20, said his party can never agree with any move to mix politics with religion.
“We as a political party are not interested in any move to use religion or gods to catch votes. Let religion and politics take their own courses. If at all, provided the political situation in the country, the government decides to print gods’ images on notes, there should be equal importance given to all religions,” Jacob told Onmanorama.
This is the first time, the Kizhakkambalam-based party that formed the People’s Welfare Alliance along with AAP, has made its stand on the controversy clear.
