Slogans of 'support Palestine' raised on Eid, bjp accuses Priyanka?
Amidst the celebration of Eid in Madhya Pradesh, a protest was held by tying a black band against the Waqf Amendment Bill of the Central Government. Apart from this, people were seen carrying placards expressing solidarity with Palestine. A debate broke out between the ruling bjp and the opposition congress on monday (31 March) over this. Eid was celebrated with traditional enthusiasm in MP. However, some members of the community tied black bands to protest against the central government's move to amend the Waqf Act, while at one place some people displayed placards of 'I stand with Palestine' to a group.
After this, vishwas Sarang, a minister in the bjp government, said that attempts to incite violence by making divisive statements will not be tolerated. He said, "Congress leader priyanka Gandhi incited people's sentiments by carrying Palestine's bag in Parliament. Opposition leaders should be ashamed of stooping so low for the politics of appeasement."
vishwas Sarang said, "When Hindus were being tortured in Bangladesh, priyanka didi did not have time to support those Hindus. Such attempts to spread anarchy in the country by showing banners on Eid will not be tolerated." Not only this, Sarang, a minister in the bjp government, said that these elements should understand that if they are benefiting from India, then they should also think like Indians. Such divisive thinking will not be accepted. It is wrong to oppose the Waqf (Amendment) Bill without reading it.
'Even Muslims do not benefit from Waqf' - vishwas Sarang
The sports minister further said, "No poor Muslim has benefited from Waqf. Only the rich Muslim leaders involved in illegal land grabbing have benefited from the Waqf Board.''
Congress's counter attack on Sarang's statement
Madhya Pradesh congress spokesperson Abhinav Baroliya, while countering vishwas Sarang, said, ''Palestine is not our enemy. Today, if a Muslim brother is expressing his feelings about palestine on Eid, what is wrong in it? This issue should be considered a matter of humanity, not politics.''
