RSS does not chant “Jai Siya Ram” or “Jai Sita Ram” “because there is not a single woman in their organization”, Rahul Gandhi said in Madhya Pradesh. “It is not a comfortable gathering because Sita cannot come to their gathering. Women cannot come at all. Sita was kicked out,” he added.
Addressing a rally in Madhya Pradesh’s Agar Malwa district, the Congress MP narrated an incident. “A scholar in Madhya Pradesh came to me and said, ‘Rahulji, Lord Ram was an ascetic. He did penance all his life. Gandhiji used to say ‘Hey Ram’. That was his slogan.” Then Pandit said another slogan – Jai Siya Ram or Jai Sita Jai Ram. Sita and Rama are one and the same. Hence the slogan Jai Siya Ram or Jai Sita Ram. It means that what Rama did for Sita, went and fought for Sita, we respect the place that should be for Sita. And the third slogan is Jai Sri Ram, where we praise Lord Rama.
“The pandit then told me, ‘You should ask in your speeches why the BJP only says Jai Shri Ram but never Jai Siya Ram, Hey Ram.’ I liked it very much,” Rahul Gandhi added.
“Pandit then told me, ‘You ask in your speech why BJP only says Jai Shri Ram but never Jai Siya Ram, O Ram.’ I liked it a lot,” added Rahul Gandhi.
“They don’t because BJP-RSS people don’t live their lives with the same sentiments that Lord Ram lived with. Because Lord Rama did not do injustice to anyone. He worked to unite society, he respected everyone and he helped everyone. BJP-RSS people do not accept this sentiment, this lifestyle,” he added.
“I want to tell our RSS friends that they must say Jai Shri Ram. But they should also say Jai Siya Ram and Hey Ram. Say all three and don’t insult Sitaji.
