New Delhi [India], November 28 (ANI): Amid chaos over a Rajasthan court accepting Hindu Sena’s petition claiming Ajmer Sharif Dargah to be Lord Shiva’s temple, Samajwadi Party (SP) Rajya Sabha MP Ram Gopal Yadav on Thursday lashed out at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), saying that people from across the globe come to visit Ajmer Sharif Dargah and creating a controversy over that place only depicts a “hateful” and “shallow” mindset.
He further said that people backed by the saffron party can do anything to remain in power.
“I have said it before also. The kind of judges sitting (in lower courts) want to put the country under fire. This has no meaning. Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself sends ‘chaddar’ at Ajmer Sharif Dargah. People from across the country and people from the whole world come to Ajmer Sharif. To put that place in controversy depicts a very hateful and shallow mindset. Not only this, the BJP-backed people can do anything to remain in power. They will not care if the country comes under fire. They just want power,” SP MP Ram Gopal Yadav told ANI.
Meanwhile, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MP Asaduddin Owaisi targeted the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) following the recent controversy regarding Ajmer Sharif Dargah in Rajasthan.
AIMIM MP Owaisi further questioned the conduct of lower courts, implying that the Places of Worship Act was being ignored. “Why are the lower courts not hearing the Places of Worship Act?” he asked.
“They have made the Ministry for Minority Affairs a party (in this case). What will the Modi government tell them? Why are the lower courts not hearing the Places of Worship Act? You will go everywhere and say that there was something else in place of a mosque or dargah. Next time, a Muslim would also go somewhere and say that this didn’t exist here. Where will this stop? What about the rule of law? Where will the democracy go?” Owaisi asked.
Earlier, Congress MP Imran Masood said that PM Modi should look into the matter related to Ajmer Sharif Dargah and the Supreme Court must take cognisance.
He accused the Union government of sidelining the Places of Worship Act and expressed his concerns over such incidents, saying that such things would set the whole country on fire. (ANI)
