So yet another minister has put her foot in the mouth.
Following another faith is certainly not haram for a religion which espouses the concept of Vasudhaiva kutumbakam. The philosophers and seers of Sanatana Dharma have all propounded that all faiths are but different roads to the same destination - the One God.
It is grating and worrying to note that a person who is addressed as a Sadhvi should be so blatant about expressing her radical thought, as well as exposing her judgmental attitude towards followers of other faiths.
This, and a few other insensitive remarks by other ministers, have given an ideal opportunity for the pseudo-secularists, Congresswalas and the leftists to pounce upon the government.
It is rich that Congress should be accusing the Prime Minister of 'culpable silence'. Where does that leave Manmohan Singh then?

To reiterate, everybody is welcome to live in Bharatvarsh, everybody is welcome to partake of its riches, everybody is free to follow their own religious and cultural beliefs; as long as they do not indulge in criminal, anti-state, fundamentalist, or faith conversion-related activities.
I disown the Sadhvi's statement.
