Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh was attending an event after Maha Mastakabhisheka of a giant statue of 58.8 feet in Karnataka. The Home Minister said that if believed and followed sternly, the beliefs of Jainism can get rid of the ongoing violence in the world.
He said, “It is a period of violence, the era of establishing a dominion over each other is going on. What is the ideology that can get rid of all these things? I would say that the ideology of Jainism can get rid of the ongoing violence in the world”.
The minister added that what we see in the world today is the fierce competition to overpower each other. The messages spread by Bhagwan Bahubali find relevance in all the times, he added. Ahimsa (non-violence) was also hailed as the most sacred religion in the world.
