AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday hit out at National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, saying he should tell everyone who is spreading religious bigotry in the country. “We were expecting the NSA to tell everyone who are these ‘some elements’ who are spreading bigotry. Why is that word biting? They should tell,” Owaisi told reporters here today.
Doval on Saturday urged leaders of various religions to counter radical forces trying to create enmity in the name of religion and ideology, which adversely affect the country and have international influence.
“Some people try to create enmity in the name of religion which adversely affects the entire country and also has an impact at the international level,” Doval said at the conference organized in the backdrop of several incidents of religious discord in the country.
Everyone should raise their voice against religious bigotry, says NSA at an interreligious conference – organized by ALL India Sufi Sajjadnashin Parishad – which passed a resolution advocating banning organizations such as the Popular Front of India (PFI) for pursuing a “divisive agenda” and indulging in “anti-national activities”.
Owaisi, however, did not respond to a question whether PFI should be banned in the country. The radical Islamist organization PFI has been on the radar of security agencies for its suspected role in several incidents of riots in the country.
Asked if he is considered a fanatic in the country, Owaisi quipped, “In India, we are only fanatics and all others are pure.” Owaisi had come here to participate in an event. Talking about the political crisis in Sri Lanka, he said that this situation arose because the Sri Lankan government hid unemployment and inflation from the people of the country.
“The data must be disclosed. We hope that such a situation does not arise in India. He also alleged that the executive was trying to undermine the legislature in Parliament, thereby reducing debate. In the monsoon session, 14 bills were introduced in Parliament and passed within minutes. He said that the sittings of Parliament are held for 60-65 days in a year, so how will the issues of the people be raised.
