BJP Leader Himanta Biswa Sarma States Cancer is Karma

Health Education and Finance Minister and BJP Leader Himanta Biswa Sarma stirred a controversy on Wednesday. The Minister stated cancer is a disease for people who have committed sins in the past.

The Minister was quoted saying, “God makes us suffer when we sin. Sometimes we come across young men getting inflicted with cancer or young men meeting with accidents. If you observe the background, you will come to know that it`s divine justice, and nothing else. We have to suffer that divine justice.”

Sarma was distributing appointment letters to 248 school teachers at a function in Guwahati and said, “Hinduism believes in karmic law and human suffering is linked to karmic deficiency in past life.”

On Wednesday, former Union Minister P. Chidambaram lashed out at Sarma for his statement. Chidambaram Tweeted, “Cancer is divine justice for sins’ says Assam Minister Sarma. That is what switching parties does to a person.”

Sarma who quit the Congress Party in 2015 to join the BJP countered Chidambaram’s tweet, “Sir, please do not distort. Simply I said that Hinduism believe in karmic law, and human sufferings are linked to karmic deficiency in past life. Don`t you believe that too? Of course in your party, I do not know whether Hindu philosophy can be discussed at all.”
