BJP supporting Nupur, says Owaisi

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was supporting and protecting its former national spokesperson Nupur Sharma and said that it was possible that she would resurface in the future as her party’s Delhi chief ministerial candidate.

Mr Owaisi was speaking at the Azmat-e-Mustafa public meeting in Darussalaam where he also criticised youths frequenting pubs and later indulging in sexual assault. He also urged people of different communities to read sincerely about Prophet Muhammad, who resides in the hearts of 20 crore Muslims, and his family.

“I am certain that Nupur Sharma will reappear after six or seven months. It is possible that she will be made Delhi chief ministerial candidate, like a big leader. This is the truth of our country. Those who vilify Muslims, they have a bright future and are given important posts,” he said.
