This refers to the article, “The politics of majority versus the minority” (October 9) by Kalyani Shankar. Unfortunately, rather than defusing tension, politicians are creating a rift between communities. Why is it that politicians have been visiting Bisara village only after this unfortunate incidentIJ One needs to be an aeronautic scientist to understand why a politician like the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen leader Asaduddin Owaisi visited this place!
Senior Samajwadi Party leader and Uttar Pradesh Minister Azam Khan thinks that he is the sole politician concerned about his community. And BJP MP Mahesh Sharma too did not help much by giving a controversial statement. Now, after President Pranab Mukherjee has given a statement ( in the backdrop of the incident), political leaders should refrain from further polarising the issue. It’s a shame that, at a time when a family is grieving over the loss of a loved one, political leaders are just trying to cash in on the opportunity and on a family’s tragedy.
