By-elections are to be held in Rampur Lok Sabha seat of Uttar Pradesh after Azam Khan’s resignation. BJP has fielded Ghanshyam Lodhi from this seat. At the same time, earlier discussions were going on to field Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi from this seat. During a program of ABP News on this issue, Union Cabinet Minister for Minority Affairs Naqvi said that he does not consider both Kejriwal and Rahul Gandhi as enemies.
During this, the anchor asked who is the biggest enemy for the country, Arvind Kejriwal or Rahul Gandhi? In response to which Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, “I do not consider both of them as enemies. Rahul ji is himself an enemy of his own party.” He further said, “Till today I have seen satyagraha against corruption, but if any party starts doing satyagraha in favor of corruption and starts saying that we will do satyagraha for the corruption that has been alleged against us. So they are witnessing the revolution of corruption for the first time.
India’s pride is not a bird sitting on a branch: Talking on the Nupur Sharma case, BJP leader said, “Protesting is not a wrong thing, absolutely protest, but what to say that India’s pride is over. Hey how did it end?” He further said that the pride of India is a bird sitting on a branch that once shook and the bird flew away.
Did BJP delay in taking action against Nupur Sharma? In response to this question, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, “I have received a call from a Ulema of the Egyptian University. At that time I said that this is not the stand of the party and the government. I have faith in India. We do not insult any religion.” He said that neither it is right to insult the Prophet nor any Hindu deity. It is not right to insult religion.”
Party’s decision for the better: At the same time, did not want to contest from Rampur or was not given a ticket? In response to this question, Naqvi said that the news of contesting from Rampur is newsprint. I have heard this only in the media. I have no such desire and no expectation. He further said, “Wherever there are others in front of the stars, there are more times ahead of time.” There is nothing to worry about. Whatever the party’s decision is, it is for the better.
