Mohibullah Nadvi Criticizes Government After Building Collapse and Mosque Demolition

New Delhi, September 7 (Daily Kiran) : In New Delhi, on September 7, Samajwadi Party MP Mohibullah Nadvi sharply criticized the government following the tragic building collapse in Satya Niketan. He highlighted delays in rescue operations, the demolition of a mosque in Saharanpur, and controversial statements made by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, as well as the Haldwani cleansing controversy. Nadvi also addressed issues related to education, hostels for poor students, social justice, and communal harmony.

Discussing the building collapse, Nadvi expressed his sorrow over the incident. He questioned why there was a delay in the arrival of rescue teams, including JCB and NDRF, despite the incident occurring close to the Prime Minister’s residence. He emphasized the need for timely inspections of building safety and construction standards. According to Nadvi, there is a lack of adequate hostel and educational facilities for children from poor families and rural areas. The increasing reliance on expensive private accommodations is placing financial pressure on these families. He urged society to empathize with the pain of the victims instead of politicizing such tragedies.

Nadvi alleged that cuts to education and university budgets are harming students from underprivileged backgrounds. He encouraged students to persist with their studies despite challenges, asserting that books, libraries, and education are vital for progress. He also raised concerns about government spending on advertisements, calling for increased resources for educational institutions. Nadvi stressed the moral responsibility of the government and society towards marginalized communities.

On the issue of the mosque demolition in Saharanpur, Nadvi advocated for promoting positive and constructive thinking instead of hate and violence. He criticized attempts to divide society along religious lines, stating that if bulldozers are used for development, they should be employed to build schools, hospitals, and educational institutions. The goal of development should be to provide better opportunities for the poor.

Nadvi referenced India’s rich culture and shared heritage, emphasizing that the nation’s identity is rooted in diversity and mutual respect. He accused political entities of continually turning historical and religious issues into points of contention for electoral gain.

Addressing statements related to the RSS and its influence, Nadvi questioned the ideology of the organization and its political ramifications. He cited issues involving Mahatma Gandhi, Bilkis Bano, and the Ram Temple, making serious political allegations against the RSS and BJP. He argued that religious faith should not be exploited for political gain, criticizing the BJP for politicizing religious sentiments.

Regarding the cleansing controversy at an event linked to Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge in Haldwani, Nadvi questioned the implications of washing a venue associated with a senior opposition leader. He referenced past incidents involving Mulayam Singh Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav, stating that there should be no room for discrimination in political and social life.

Nadvi concluded by asserting that the focus should be on education, employment, and development rather than dividing the nation along Hindu-Muslim lines. He claimed that the public would respond to these issues in the upcoming elections.
