Continuing its attack on the INDIA bloc over the issue, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday accused former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav and the opposition alliance of being anti-backward, anti-Babasaheb Ambedkar, and anti-Constitution.
Alleging that the priority of the RJD, Congress and the INDIA bloc was to implement “Sharia law, polygamy… halala and empowerment of only one religion”, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said that such ‘mamazwadis’ wanted to “turn India into an Islamic” state.
“Their priorities lie in Sharia law, practices like halala, and the empowerment of only one particular religion. Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji envisions the empowerment of Dalits, women, and the backward sections of society — but Tejashwi Yadav opposes that vision. Whenever they talk of Sharia, the Bharatiya BJP will respond by standing firmly with the Constitution,” Bhatia said at a press conference.
He said Tejashwi’s remarks about “throwing the Waqf Act into the dustbin” is extremely unfortunate and that the intentions of the “RJD, Tejashwi, and Lalu Prasad are crystal clear that they are determined to pursue communal politics”.
“A few days ago, an image surfaced showing Dr B R Ambedkar’s photo was placed at the feet of Lalu Prasad and he didn’t stop his supporters from doing so. Neither Lalu nor Tejashwi Yadav has apologised for it to this day…This wasn’t just an image — it reflects a mindset that wants to turn India into an Islamic nation,” he alleged.
