Washington, Dec 14 (Inditop.com) The Ganges, a river held sacred by the Hindus, “sounds like a disease”, a Fox News commentator has said, drawing protests from the Hindu community.
Fox News Channel’s Glenn Beck criticised the Ganges in his opinion show “The One Thing”, Hindupad.com reported.
He said: “One big river they have there, that sounds like a disease. Come on, it does. I mean if somebody said, I am sorry, you have a really bad case of Ganges.”
Hindu leader Rajan Zed said that the Ganges was sacred to Hindus worldwide and Beck’s remarks were “very hurtful to the devotees”.
