New Delhi, August 13: BJP MP Mukesh Rajput launched a verbal attack on the opposition regarding the Ram Mandir fund controversy. He defended the government’s stance on sending the FCRA bill to the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), stating that the government aimed for a thorough discussion in the House. However, he noted that an appropriate atmosphere for discussion was not created, leading to the decision to send the bill to the committee.
Rajput also responded to SP leader Shivpal Yadav’s statement about Azam Khan being appointed as Home Minister. He criticized the Samajwadi Party (SP) for attempting to present itself as a party of Ram devotees. He recalled incidents during Akhilesh Yadav’s father, Mulayam Singh Yadav’s tenure as Chief Minister, when Ram devotees faced violence. Rajput urged Akhilesh to acknowledge this history and provide answers to the public. He pointed out that during the SP’s rule, Ram devotees faced police action and now the same party is politicizing the issue of fund misappropriation.
He emphasized that under Yogi Adityanath’s government in Uttar Pradesh, investigations are underway. Initial inquiries have led to actions against those found guilty, and the situation will become clearer once the investigation concludes. Rajput accused the SP of attempting to insult Hindu society through their protests related to the fund controversy. He urged SP leaders to focus on alleged corruption within mosques, Waqf Board properties, and madrasas.
Rajput stated that previous governments had provided significant funding and protection to these institutions. He questioned whether that money was used appropriately or fell victim to corruption. He called for investigations into these matters and emphasized that if irregularities are found, action should be taken. He noted that individuals associated with temples and organizations like the Vishwa Hindu Parishad are capable of addressing these issues.
Regarding the FCRA bill’s referral to the JPC, Rajput reiterated that the government’s intention was not to rush the bill. The government sought ample discussion in the House. Although the bill could have been passed, the government preferred a detailed discussion under the Home Minister’s leadership to clarify all aspects. Due to the lack of a conducive environment for discussion, the bill was sent to the committee, where MPs from various political parties will engage in detailed discussions. The report and recommendations from the committee will guide further discussions in the House before the bill’s passage.
On Shivpal Yadav’s comments about Azam Khan becoming Home Minister, Rajput remarked that the possibility of an SP government is unlikely. He sarcastically suggested that if the SP were to form a government, they should directly appoint Azam Khan as Chief Minister instead. He humorously urged Shivpal and the SP to announce that Azam Khan would be the Chief Minister if they came to power.
Rajput accused the SP’s previous governments of promoting corruption and crime, stating that during their rule, mafia activities thrived. He used terms like food mafia, sand mafia, and land mafia to illustrate the protection these criminal networks received under SP governance. He claimed that messages from SP leaders visiting Azam Khan in jail indicate that the party still stands with criminals, suggesting that the bigger the criminal, the bigger the leader in the SP.
Defending the law and order policies of Yogi Adityanath’s government, Rajput asserted that the government is taking strict action against criminals and mafias. He highlighted the bulldozer actions taken against individuals involved in crime and mafia activities, stating that such actions would continue. He assured that the government is fully prepared to thwart any criminal intentions in Uttar Pradesh.
