Left parties on Monday alleged that the BJP was “forced to act” and under pressure from other countries suspended its national spokesperson Nupur Sharma for her controversial remarks against Prophet Mohammad.
The BJP on Sunday suspended Sharma and expelled its Delhi media chief Naveen Kumar Jindal as the controversy over his remarks against the prophet escalated with protests from some Muslim countries. With sharp reaction coming from countries like Kuwait, Qatar and Iran, the BJP had issued a statement saying that it respected all religions and strongly condemned the insult of any religious personality.
Under attack, Sharma had said, “If my words have hurt the religious sentiments of anyone or have hurt the religious sentiments of anyone, I withdraw my statement unconditionally. It was never my intention to hurt anyone’s religious sentiments.”
Nupur Sharma publicly thanked party leaders Amit Shah, PMO and others for their support. Now under pressure from other countries they are forced to act and suspend it. They are the guardians of hate speech. Condemn the isolated, defeat them, save India,” the CPIM said in a tweet.
Sharma’s comments in a TV debate about 10 days ago and Jindal’s now-deleted tweets triggered a Twitter trend calling for boycott of Indian products in some countries. Referring to the remark of the Indian Ambassador to Qatar that the controversial tweets do not in any way reflect the views of the Government of India. India “These are the views of marginalized elements,” CPI general secretary D Raja asked, “is the government declaring the RSS a fringe organisation.
“The so-called ‘fringe elements’ were the official spokespersons of the ruling party in India. What he said is no different from the RSS narrative of corrupting minorities, which has been going on since 1925,” Raja said in a tweet.
Is the government declaring the RSS a fringe organization? BJP, RSS are making people fight for religion. Prime Minister Narendra Modi Instead of living with farmers, workers and labourers, it is with the capitalists,” said Raja.
