All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has sharpened his attack on the BJP-led Haryana government. Owaisi alleged that the state government knew before the Nuh violence last month that Muslims would be targeted under the pretext of the yatra. He added that the dear treatment of accused Monu Manesar and "fundamentalist 'Parishad" led to communal clashes in the district in July.
Owaisi further said that these miscreants are not BJP's pawns but it is the "BJP who is helpless in front of these organised criminals".
"The VHP is threatening to take out a Shobha Yatra against the orders of the BJP government of Haryana. The government knew before the Nuh violence that Muslims would be targeted under the garb of the yatra," he wrote on X (formerly
Twitter).
He added, "Had there not been a one-sided legal action against the Muslims and the real culprit had not been made Monu Darling, the fundamentalist 'Parishad' and the Army would not have had so much courage. It seems that these are not BJP's pawns but BJP is helpless in front of these organised criminals."
"If violence happens again in Nuh, only the BJP government of Haryana will be responsible for it. Now there are no Muslim houses left even to demolish," Owaisi concluded.
Notably, security across Nuh has been strengthened in view of the yatra by Hindu outfits in the district despite the administration not giving them permission for some. VHP's Vindo Bansal meanwhile said that the procession is a pilgrimage and no permission is required for it.
