CM slams derogatory comment about Prophet

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has condemned the Bharathiya Janata Party (BJP) bid to otherise the Muslim community.

He said the derogatory remarks against the Prophet by two Bharathiya Janata Party (BJP) spokespersons have also undermined the social security of lakhs of Indians employed in Islamic nations in the Gulf. The BJP has shamed India and eroded its international standing and reputation.

Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan said BJP had brought shame to India. He tweeted: “By insulting the Prophet and a religion, the BJP has made India look like a theocracy. What else can be expected of a party which is hell-bent on wrecking everything we have built up and cherished.”
