"VIP culture is an aberration; it is an incursion when viewed through the anvil of equality. It should have no place in society, much less in religious places. The very idea of VIP darshan militates"
-
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Tuesday criticized the prevalence of VIP culture, particularly in religious institutions, emphasizing that such practices contradict the principles of equality and divinity.
Addressing the gathering after inaugurating the Queue Complex and Jnanadeepa at Sri Kshethra Dharmasthala, Karnataka, he called for eliminating VIP privileges at places of worship, urging them to uphold the ideals of egalitarianism and serve as exemplars of inclusivity.
"VIP culture is an aberration; it is an incursion when viewed through the anvil of equality. It should have no place in society, much less in religious places. The very idea of VIP darshan militates against divinity. It should be dispensed with," he said.
