Maria Alam tries to give explanation
In her speech, Maria Alam also called for a boycott of Muslims who support the BJP. After the case was registered, Maria Alam, giving an explanation, said, “I was campaigning for the election and was in my community. The voting percentage is decreasing. That is why I used the word ‘Jihad’. Jihad means struggle. What meaning did you take of my speech, I don’t know.”
