The leading Muslim bodies of the country have called for the disqualification of the BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri who indulged in a slur-laden diatribe against Kunwar Danish Ali, the Bahujan Samaj Party MP on the concluding day of the special session of Parliament.
Condemning the speech in which Mr. Bidhuri is reported to have called Mr. Ali a “terrorist” and an “extremist” while participating in a debate on the success of India’s Chandrayaan-3 Mission, the Muslim bodies called it “an evidence of hatred for entire Muslim community”.
Speaking to the media, Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind president Arshad Madani said, “The use of such language against a Muslim Member of Parliament shows that, let the common Muslims aside, now the elected representative of the Muslims is not safe even in the Parliament. If this is the picture of new India, it is dangerous and disappointing.”
