controversies
Bowed down to campaign for a day during by-elections
In 2020, Mohan was sent a notice by the Election Commission that he would not be allowed to campaign for a day on 31 October 2020 during the state elections for using objectionable language.
Mohan’s stance against higher education department
In 2021 when the Higher Education Department proposed a law that students who have any criminal record against them will not be given admission to college, Mohan came out in support of the students and asked whether ministers should be barred from contesting elections. There is no law? Why should students be stopped even if they have criminal background in Lok Sabha and Assembly?
Derogatory comments about Mata Sita
On December 18, 2022, when Mohan was attending the Karsevak felicitation ceremony in Nagda, he while talking about Mata Sita said,
Due to the dignity of the state, Ramji had to leave Mother Sita even when she was pregnant. Sita Mata’s children were born in the forest, even after suffering so much, that mother has so much respect for her husband that she forgets the sufferings and prays for the life of Lord Rama. “In today’s times, life is like life after divorce.”
The video of the event went viral on social media and many Congress leaders said that it was not right for him to make such comments. In an interview, he clarified this comment and said,
The program was to honor the sacrifice of Kar Sevaks. That’s why I said something about Ram Rajya. At its core was the sacrifice and love of Ram and Sita. I was telling what sacrifices Lord Ram had to make and what sufferings he had to endure for the kingdom. “My point is being misrepresented.”
Hateful comments on Republic Day Parade
In January 2022, Mohan made derogatory remarks about the Republic Day parade on his social media account and said,
The leader in the Republic Day parade was Subhash Chandra Bose, Sardar was Vallabhbhai Patel. There was neither the country’s fake father, nor the country’s fake uncle, nor the Iron Lady, nor the inventor of the computer in the parade. There was a tableau of Kashi Vishwanath in the parade, there was a tableau of Mother Vaishnodevi, there was a scene of Sanatan culture. My country is really changing, my country is coming out of the jaws of the British slaves, my country is really becoming free.”
After his comment, Congress leaders attacked him fiercely and Congress Working President Ravi Rai talked about Mohan’s comment and said,
What message does the Higher Education Minister want to give to the society by making such a statement? We condemn such posts on the occasion of Republic Day. This is the mentality of RSS and BJP and Godse. He said that the minister’s Godse ideology has shown that he is saying wrong things about Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi.
