Lucknow/New
Delhi, 23 July (HS): Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak slammed
the Samajwadi Party (SP) and its leader Akhilesh Yadav Nawaazwadi on Wednesday,
accusing him and his party of lacking confidence in the Constitution. His remarks come after Akhilesh Yadav
reportedly met inside a mosque on Parliament Street in New Delhi. He claimed that the Indian constitution
forbids the exploitation of sacred places for political objectives. “The
Samajwadi Party chief and the Samajwadi Party consistently violate the
Constitution. According to the Indian
Constitution, sacred places may not be utilized for political objectives. They have no faith in the Constitution,” Pathak
stated, who also added, Woh hamesha Namaazwadi bane rehte hai, and
this is exactly what he is doing.”
In response, SP MP Rajeev Rai suggested that
the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) address viral recordings of its leaders. Do we
now need a BJP license to attend temples and mosques? Should we make photographs of the BJP go
viral? Rai stated that they do not
discuss videos or photos of their leaders coming in from the streets.
Meanwhile, Akhilesh Yadav remarked that the
BJP intends to keep people divided. He
stated that faith connects, but the governing party in the center does not want
this to occur.
Faith fosters connections. However, the BJP
seeks to keep people divided rather than unified. We believe in all faiths.... Religion is the
BJP's instrument, Yadav said to reporters.
As this occurred, BJP Minority Morcha National President Jamal Siddiqui
chastised the Samajwadi Party and its MP, Mohibullah Nadvi, for converting a
mosque into their party's headquarters.
Nadvi works as the Imam of Parliament Street Mosque.
Many
SP MPs are visible alongwith SP President.
Rampur MP Mohibullah Nadvi is also among them. Mohibullah Nadvi used to worship with the
Imam at this mosque. But he isn't ready
to quit the mosque. Today it has gone
beyond all limits! He established the
mosque as his party's headquarters. In a
statement, Siddiqui added, We strongly condemn this.
He stated that they will demand that Delhi
Minister Rekha Gupta and the Delhi Waqf Board remove Rampur MP Mohibullah Nadvi
from his position as Imam of Parliament Street mosque and take harsh action
against him. Siddiqui stated that the BJP Minority Morcha will organize a
protest against Akhilesh Yadav and his MP on July 25 after Friday prayers.
