New Delhi, June 24: Political tensions have escalated over allegations of land-related scams against Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Akhilesh Yadav has come to Yadav’s defense, claiming that the BJP is plotting to replace chief ministers in three states, which is why his name is being dragged into this controversy. In response, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has weighed in.
Naqvi stated in an interview on Wednesday, “Akhilesh Yadav will find himself trapped in his own web of cunning and cleverness. He will gain nothing from this, especially in the upcoming 2027 elections.”
He also commented on a statement from the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, saying that some individuals are attempting to incite violence in the name of jihad. He emphasized that the general public does not support such campaigns, which ultimately harm those involved. “India is unique in that it has the largest Muslim community compared to non-Muslim countries. Here, their constitutional, economic, and educational rights are being protected. If people are so concerned about the minority community, I suggest they visit Pakistan to see the situation of minorities there. In India, efforts are continuously made for the welfare of minority communities,” he added.
Regarding Maulana Arshad Madani’s alleged statement claiming jihad is a right for every Muslim, Naqvi remarked, “We have previously stated that these individuals are merely making noise in the name of jihad. The public has understood them now. Their heated rhetoric will eventually cool down.”
Additionally, Naqvi targeted the Congress party by referencing the Emergency declared on June 25, 1975. He accused Congress of undermining the Constitution to retain power, a stain that still marks its legacy. He urged those who speak of the Constitution to apologize to the public, as fundamental rights were stripped away during the Emergency, damaging constitutional values.
“I was just 17 when I was imprisoned. Many young people like me, who were studying in college, were sent to jail,” he recounted. Naqvi alleged that Congress continues to incite people on certain issues.
