As missiles rain down in Muslim nations caught in Iran-US-Israel crossfire, Samajwadi Party’s ST Hasan from Lucknow insists India stands as a secure home for Hindus and Muslims. Just 5 percent stir trouble, he told IANS, while the rest thrive in mutual respect.
Unlike India, Arab countries shun mosque bulldozings, foster religious liberty, and erect splendid temples, Hasan observed. ‘Missile chaos there doesn’t spell danger here.’
Fourteen years ago, harmony reigned supreme without today’s discrimination or faith-based hurts under the ruling dispensation—issues scarce in Islamic realms, he claimed.
Gulf attacks spare people, zeroing in on US bases and refineries with American ownership; bazaars pulse with normalcy.
Hasan scorned BJP’s Sangeet Som’s ‘last Mughal’ slur on Akhilesh Yadav: ‘Check your own standing—party dumped you. Akhilesh, a unifying Hindu, deserves respect. BJP shouldn’t divide via religion; Mughals enriched our legacy.’
He debunked Giriraj Singh’s Bengal citizenship barbs as baseless: ‘Union government decides that, not provinces—pure confusion tactics.’
Hailing social media curbs for minors in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, Hasan warned of online filth sparking juvenile crimes. ‘Positive move; implementation is crucial,’ he ended.
