"What injustice was done? Pakistan's Muslims don't want to come, we can't force them," BJP leader Subramanian Swamy said.The Telegraph file picture

BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy has said he was in favour of inscribing the image of deity Lakshmi on banknotes which could "improve the condition of the Indian currency".

Swamy was speaking to reporters on Tuesday night after addressing a lecture series titled 'Swami Vivekananda Vyakhyanmala' in Madhya Pradesh's Khandwa district.

Responding to a question about the picture of deity Ganesha printed on the Indonesian currency, Swamy said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi can answer this question. I am in favour (of this). Lord Ganesha removes obstacles. I rather say that a picture of Goddess Lakshmi (on currency notes) may improve the condition of Indian currency. Nobody should feel bad about this."

Swamy said there was nothing objectionable in the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.

"The Congress and Mahatma Gandhi had requested this (CAA). Manmohan Singh had also requested in Parliament in 2003. We did it. Now they are not accepting it saying that we did injustice to Pakistan's Muslims. What injustice was done? Pakistan's Muslims don't want to come, we can't force them," Swamy said.

Earlier, while delivering the lectures, Swamy said DNA of Muslims and Hindus is same like that of Brahmins and Dalits.

Swamy claimed the BJP would soon introduce the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), which he said had been repeatedly directed by the Supreme Court in the past 70 years and by Article 44 of the Constitution.

Expressing concerns over the rising population, Swamy said India would leave China behind by 2025 as the most populous nation.

Indonesia has Ganesh on its banknotes..If indonesia as a Muslim majority country can have that, why can't we? So many pre-christian Gods are on the stamps,coat of arms,currencies of european nations...I support this move..it is a good cultural celebration for atheists, and a celebration of faith for the theists

So its some God. okay.
Well US dollar says "In God we trust"...
But India does not need divine help more that she needs proper administration.

more like a cultural celebration..this being the home to a non-Abrahamic pagan culture and all
IMHO, its better to call out "God" or whatever in a secular way than to use icons that are indeed religious in nature and affiliated with one religion. Nations that are too much fixated on a religion do not do well.

Hinduism for India is more like Judaism for Israel...and Israel has done fantastic...Hinduism is right now a just proud ethnic marker for the majority of Hindus, rather than an issue of creed

Indonesia also doesn't vote in parties that promise to rape and kill minorities.
Why don't you copy that from them too?

What about Indian Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and tribals, are they just to submit to your proud ethnic marker?
