It is common for BJP IT Cell trolls to use secular� as a term of abuse. But for a Governor to do so marks a new low, since secularism� is enshrined in Indias Constitution to which the Governor has to swear allegiance.
Thackeray responded by asking Koshiyari, Isn't secularism a key component of the Constitution, by which you swore while taking oath as the state governor?� He also added the obvious point that opening temples would put the lives of (Hindu) devotees at risk: While considering the sentiments and beliefs of the people, it is also important to take care of their lives and it is wrong to impose or lift the lockdown in a sudden manner.�
Since Koshiyari sees secular� as a term of abuse or mockery, he has no right to remain Governor. He is free to grace the Sangh shakhas but should quit the Governors seat.
