Taking a jibe at Bageshwar Dham chief Dhirendra Krishna Shastri for calling for national anthem be sung at religious places, Independent MP Pappu Yadav on Friday said “he is a government sponsored monkey, he’s an animal, not a person”.

Speaking to reporters in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, Shastri said: “We believe that the National Anthem should be sung in India’s temples, churches, mosques and shrines, at least once a week, so that we remain united in our duty towards the nation and keep patriotism alive in our hearts.”

Purnia MP Pappu Yadav said: “He is mad. This lunatic, these marketing-driven, ignorant people like Dhirendra have no understanding of spirituality, Sanatana Dharma, science, or Indian culture. Nobody takes him seriously; he’s an animal, not a person. Such anti-national elements should be sent to Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Nepal, where democracy must be protected and Sanatana kept alive…”
