Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]. March 31 (ANI): The blast at a mosque in Beed, Maharashtra, on Sunday has resulted in opposition leaders pointing fingers at the Maharashtra government.
Samajwadi Party (SP) MLA Abu Azmi on Monday said that the blast was a result of what ministers and the Chief Minister have been saying against Muslims, which created a hatred in the mind of the common man against the religion.
Speaking to ANI, the SP MLA said, “When ministers and even the Chief minister say things against Muslims every day, then there will be hatred in the common man against Muslims, and this is the result of the same.”
Further, he demanded strict action against the culprits. He also stated that if a Muslim had committed such an action, the bulldozer action would have been taken very quickly and questioned why action had not been taken yet.
“if I see someone in my country being involved in a blast, I would demand strict actions against him. NIA and ATS must do the investigation. If any Muslim commits such a thing, bulldozer action is taken very quickly, but I think in this case, the bulldozer is punctured. What is happening in this country?…” Azmi said.
Earlier in the day, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) National Spokesperson Waris Pathan has called on the Maharashtra government to impose strict Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) laws against those responsible for the explosion at a mosque in Beed, urging severe punishment for the accused.
Speaking to ANI, Pathan said, “Who encourages them? They get encouraged by the hate speeches that the BJP leaders give every day. The government should impose strict UAPA laws against the accused in this case, their case should be heard in fast-track court and they should get severe punishment. Those BJP leaders who keep talking such nonsense every day should also be punished. Only then will we be able to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.”
A blast occurred at a mosque in Beed, Maharashtra, on Sunday, causing significant damage to the internal structure of the mosque. Two accused have been arrested in connection with a blast at a mosque in Maharashtra’s Beed, police officials confirmed to ANI on Sunday.
