BJP objects to permission and funds released for Tablighi Jamat congregation

The BJP has strongly reacted to the State government sanctioning more than ₹2.40 crore for providing basic infrastructure for the three-day Islamic congregation being organised by Tablighi Jamat at Parigi in Vikarabad district from Jan. 6 to 8, on Wednesday.

In a press release, national general secretary and Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar wanted the government immediately withdraw permission for the meeting and accused the organisation of being involved in “forced conversions as well as terror activities.”

The BJP leader urged Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to take action against the officials involved in giving permission and for taking steps to release funds for the congregation. He wondered if the intelligence and police circles had informed the Chief Minister about the organisation’s “dangerous” activities and the threat they pose to Telangana society and the country at large.
