BJP’s Paresh Rawal stirs controversy; says Hindu places of worship among the dirtiest

Ahmedabad, Nov 5: Actor-turned-politician and BJP MP of Ahmedabad West constituency Paresh Rawal has once again courted controversy during a party workers meet at Vavol near here on Tuesday.

In his address to party workers on the significance of cleanliness, he said he had observed that Hindu places of worship were the dirtiest of places of worship among all other religions.

Rawal was on a day’s visit to Ahmedabad as part of a mass contact programme with party workers and office-bearers. He was also there to take part in the Swachchhata Abhiyan in his constituency. He had another four meets to address in his whistle-stop tour of Ahmedabad. He began his tour at Sardarnagar, Dehgam and a tiffin meet at Rajpur near Chiloda, the model village he had adopted as an MP. The last meet with party workers was held at Kankaria in Ahmedabad.
