The opposition, particularly the Congress party, is unhappy with the decision to award the Gandhi Peace Prize to Gita Press for the following reasons: 1. Secularism Concerns: The Gita Press is an organization known for promoting Hindu religious literature, primarily the Bhagavad Gita. As the Gandhi Peace Prize aims to honor individuals or institutions that promote peace and non-violence, the Congress party argues that awarding it to Gita Press may go against the principles of secularism, as it seems to favor one religion over others. 2. Ideological Differences: The Congress party and Gita Press have differing ideological views. The Congress party is a secular and inclusive political party, while Gita Press is associated with promoting Hindu religious literature and ideology. This fundamental difference in ideology contributes to the opposition's discontent with the award. 3. Historical Controversies: There have been historical controversies regarding some of the literature published by Gita Press, which are seen as promoting an exclusionary and divisive narrative. These controversies further fuel the opposition's argument against the award, as it contradicts the principles of peace, non-violence, and inclusivity that the Gandhi Peace Prize symbolizes. Overall, the opposition fears that awarding the Gandhi Peace Prize to Gita Press may undermine secular principles, promote a specific religious ideology, and dilute the key principles that Mahatma Gandhi stood for.
