After the controversial statement of Nupur Sharma, there has been a long debate in the country regarding bigotry. During this, along with violent incidents, controversial statements of fundamentalists are also coming to the fore. At the same time, debate is being seen on this subject on TV news channels. In a debate show on a channel, Islamic scholar Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar was so infuriated about the word Kafir that he got up and started meeting.
In fact, along with Islamic scholar Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar, Amber Zaidi and political analyst Sangeet Ragi were also present in India TV’s Kurukshetra program. During this, Ghulam Sarwar started registering his protest regarding the definition of Kafir. He said that no one knows the meaning of the word Kafir. While keeping his point, he got furious and started trying to leave the show by taking out the mic.
In fact, there was a debate on whether the word Kafir means Hindu or not. Sarwar refused to accept that Kafir meant Hindu. On this Sangeet Ragi lodged his protest. He said that read what Zakir Naik says.
On this Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar said that do not explain to us what is the meaning of Kafir. He said that nothing wrong can happen with me. On this, anchor Saurav Sharma interrupted and said that you are the judge, whatever you say, that will happen. To this Sarwar said that I am not even an Islamic scholar. I have told many times not to write Islamic scholar in front of my name.
When the matter progressed, Sarwar sat up and said that in the debate of any TV channel, you should get us ready for this matter, it will not happen at all. You guys are forcing. You will not find more Liberal than us in India. I will not let anyone go by speaking wrongly.
Further the anchor said that you are speaking so much on the word Kafir but the whole world knows what is the meaning of Kafir. The anchor said that in this way, don’t threaten to leave the show by taking out the mic.
