If the mob attacks, grab one person and beat him to death : Maulana Tauqeer Raza provokes Muslims
(Maulana means an Islamic scholar)
New Delhi – A video featuring Maulana Tauqeer Raza, President of the Ittehad Millat Council in Bareilly (Uttar Pradesh), has gone viral on social media, in which he is inciting Muslims by saying, “If a mob attacks you, catch one of them and beat him to death.” The video is reportedly from an event held in Sambhajinagar.
Maulana Tauqeer Raza added, “We must protect ourselves, as well as our sisters and daughters, because they are not safe, and neither are our mosques.” (This is called ‘Pot calling the kettle black’. Hindu religious processions are not safe when passing through Muslim-majority areas, and Hindu girls are not safe from Love Jihad. This is the reality – Editor). “Courts are giving judgments under pressure from the Government. Whatever is happening against Muslims is part of sedition and it is all planned. They want to implicate Muslims in these things. We must be careful.”
Editorial PerspectiveMaulana Tauqeer Raza consistently makes provocative and controversial statements, yet no action is taken against him. This is shameful for all political parties in power. In contrast, if a Hindu leader makes a similar statement, immediate action is taken against him. |
