Mumbai NCP Chief and former Maharashtra CM Sharad Pawar has come under the target of social media users. The reason for this is his Muslim appeasement statement. At the ‘Issues before Indian Muslims’ program organized by Vidarbha Muslim Intellectual Manch in Mumbai on Saturday, Sharad Pawar claimed that the biggest contribution to Bollywood i.e. Mumbai film industry has been of Muslims. He also said that this contribution cannot be ignored. Pawar said minorities and Urdu language have contributed in all areas of the country. He said that whether it is art, writing or poetry, minorities contribute the most.
Sharad Pawar said that we have Bollywood in front of us. The ones who contributed the most in taking it to the top are the Muslim minority. Pawar said that the people of the Muslim community feel that even after having such a large part of the country, they are not getting their due share. This is reality. This should be considered. Pawar also praised the demand for inclusion of Urdu in government recruitment exams. He said that we should consider Urdu schools and education. Apart from this, along with Urdu, we also need to think about the main language of a state.
People got furious on social media due to this statement of Sharad Pawar. People criticized his statement a lot. People also said that the people of the Muslim community did not allow Hindus to flourish in Bollywood. At the same time, users taunted and said that art and poetry have a religion, but terrorism does not have a religion. A user also mentioned the contribution of Hindus in Bollywood and also wrote the names of the people of this community associated with the film industry. You can read below how people reacted to Pawar’s statement…

Politicians like Sharad Pawar has been singularly responsible for such subtle polarisations, communalism, minorityism & simmering resentment in majority as a result of such appeasement.
These Netas sow, fertilize, nourish such emotions & divisions to reap later vote-bank harvest.— Vijendra Vijendra?? (@Vijendra1Verma) October 8, 2022
