False Hindu God: Trump’s leader from the objectionable statement on the statue of Lord Hanuman, said- ‘False deity’

Controversy has arisen over the idol of the 90 -foot -high Lord Hanuman installed in Texas, USA. Texas Republican leader Alexander Duncan objected to this statue, saying that America is a Christian nation and there is no place for the ‘idol of false deity’ here.

Sharing a video of the idol on the social media platform X, Duncan wrote, “Why are we making a statue of a false Hindu God in Texas? We are a Christian nation.” Duncan, who is contesting the Senate elections and is associated with Donald Trump’s party Republican, he further cited the Bible, saying, “You will not agree to any other God other than me. You will not make an image of any statue or sky, earth or sea in the sea or sea.”

Tremendous opposition on social media

After this statement by Duncan, there was heavy opposition on social media. The Hindu American Foundation (HAF) filed a formal complaint with the Republican Party, calling his statement an anti -Hindu and inflammatory. The Foundation questioned whether Texas GOP would take action on its candidate, which is openly making discriminatory statements and insulting the first amendment (religious freedom) of the US Constitution.

Neitizes replied

Many social media users reminded the Republican leader that the American Constitution gives freedom to accept and follow all religions. A user Jordan Crowder wrote, “Just because you are not a Hindu, it does not mean that it is false. Vedas were written about 2000 years before the birth of Jesus Christ and there are extraordinary texts. They also show an impact on Christianity, so it is better that you respect the religion that also influenced your religion.”

America’s third tallest statue

The statue, unveiled in the year 2024, is known as ‘Statue of Union’. It was built in the concept of Shri Chiinjir Swamiji and is the third tallest statue in America. This grand statue is installed in Sri Ashtalakshmi Temple (Sugarland) in Texas.
