Suresh Gopi Opens Up About The Controversial Video Clip - Says ‘i’m Not Disrespecting The Sensible Atheists’

Popular Malayalam actor Suresh Gopi, who belongs to BJP, has said that he will pray for the total destruction of non-religious people.

Suresh Gopi, a former member of the Rajya Sabha and a member of the BJP, has said that the non-believers should be totally destroyed and for that he will pray in the temple. Various political parties have strongly condemned his speech.

Suresh Gopi has acted in various important roles in many languages including Tamil and Malayalam. In particular, he played the role of a villain in Shankar's "I" starring Vikram.

In this situation, Suresh Gopi was selected as a member of the Rajya Sabha by the President of the Republic in 2016. He also joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in the same year.

After joining the Bharatiya Janata Party, Suresh Gopi's statements were alleged to be religiously controversial. He also made a controversial comment on the beef ban. Suresh Gopi contested from Thrissur constituency in the last 2019 Lok Sabha elections and lost in it.

He was caught in a tax evasion case in 2018 and got out immediately after giving a bond of 1 lakh rupees. Although Suresh Gopi joined BJP, he continues to act in various films. It was in this condition that he recently participated in the Maha Shivrathri festival held in Aluva, Kerala.

Suresh Gopi's speech in front of a large number of devotees has stirred up a lot of controversy. He said, "I respect the Gods and scriptures of all religions. I respect the Quran and the Bible. Children need temples to learn morals and love. That's what I see as piety. I love those who believe in God.

But I will not love those who do not believe in God in this world. Everyone should be like this. Bhakti is not meant to hurt anyone. But no one who denigrates religious worship and religious institutions has lived a peaceful and good life in any environment in this world.

You know who I'm talking about. But I am not talking about it because they will politicize it. Harm should not happen to anyone of religious faith at any time. We pray for the good of the world.

Those who do not believe in religion should go their own way without thinking of destroying it. We live in a time when we have to scream out loud don't try to hide here. I am going to pray in the temple for the destruction of the infidels. Everyone do this."

This comment of Suresh Gopi from BJP has created a lot of excitement in the state. In Kerala, which has a large population of non-religious communists, many people have been recording strong criticism of his speech. They said that Suresh Gopi was inciting violence against atheists.

He then gave an explanation to this issue on his Instragram page. Suresh Gopi says, "I'm not disrespecting the valuable, sensible and thoughtful thinking of non-believers or atheists, and never will. I haven't spoken of them and my speech has been cut into pieces to satisfy their venomous desire to deflect my idea. I was not indulging in politics when i said this, and NEVER WILL"

Netizens started commenting on his statement. One of his fan said, "I have been your Katta fan since childhood and have been watching the last release of Musa. I still watch your movies. But I don't like your politics and such stupidity while watching the crowd."
