In the wake of the Dadri incident and defacing of the Jammu and Kashmir MlA in Delhi, the Samajwadi Party leader and minister Azam Khan alleged that muslims are being targeted over beef controversy. Soon after the cabinet meeting here on Tuesday Azam Khan said muslims are being targeted in the name of beef. ``What do we do and where do we go. Muslims are a week and they are being punished’’, he said while replying to a query by reporters about ink attack on Independent MlA from Jammu and Kashmir Sheikh Abdul Rashid by a right wing outfit in Delhi on Monday. He added “Only one thing is left that we should write Muslim on the map of India and smear black ink on it.”
Raking yet another controversy Azam Khan said if eating beef was a crime then the punishment given to Jammu and Kashmir MlA Rashid, should also be meted out to Justice (retd) Markandey Katju and author Shobha De. Khan said in that case half of the Indian population should be punished. On Monday Rashid was the target of fringe Hindu outfit Hindu Sena which threw ink and mobil oil on him at the Press Club in Delhi protesting against the beef party he held in Srinagar earlier this month. Known for his penchant for courting controversy Azam Khan on Mondayhad demanded from the President for imposition of emergency in the country as the nation was fast heading towards anarchy. Earlier he had taken the Dadri incident to UNO by writing letter the secretary general Ban Ki Moon and muslims are being targeted in India. He had also asked for the demolition of the five star hotels in the same manner the Babri mosque was demolished if they serve beef.
