The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) minority cell that remains mute over its party leaders chants against Muslim community awakened to raise objection over All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi’s refusal to chant ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ and said that chanting ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ is not only our commitment but it is also our birthright.
Minority cell State president Hidayatullah Sheikh in a statement here on Saturday said, “The statement of Owaisi is not only objectionable but is also laughable as chanting ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ is not only our commitment but it is also our birthright.”
Sheikh further said that Owaisi’s statement has become a subject of investigation and the security agencies of the country should investigate that under what compulsion that he gave such a statement. Why a cheap statement became his compulsion for cheap publicity, he questioned.
He said that similar disturbing statement was given by Owaisi during Bihar assembly election but the people did not supported him. If Owaisi hopes that such statements would garner him minority’s support than he would surely get disappointed.
Noted writer Javed Akhtar has shown right mirror to Owaisi that where it is prohibited to chant for motherland. Islam also mentions of prayer of motherland, he added.
He said that while the soldiers are performing duty at the borders of the country for its safeguard from enemy, it has become habit of the leaders like Owaisi to give bizarre statement. They do not believe that their statements confuse the community and also gives wrong message to the society, he added.
