‘New Delhi’Oct’08 (PMI): All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi has strongly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government over the alleged attempt to attack the Chief Justice of India (CJI).
Owaisi accused the government of showing bias based on religion and being lenient in action against lawyer Rakesh Kumar, who allegedly tried to attack Chief Justice B.R. Gavai.
Speaking at a public gathering, Owaisi said:
“If the lawyer’s name was not Rakesh Kumar but Asad, what would have happened? BJP leaders would have shouted — ‘Arrest him!’, ‘He came from a neighboring country!’, ‘He is an agent of Pakistan’s ISI!’ Then he would have been attacked from all sides.”
He further alleged that both the Delhi Police and the central government are exhibiting double standards based on religious identity in this case.
Owaisi compared the incident to a recent event in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, where the Muslim community protested against the removal of an “I Love Muhammad” banner. He said the UP police acted immediately in that case, but no such action was taken against Rakesh Kumar.
According to Owaisi, Rakesh Kumar, in his complaint, referred to the Bareilly incident, stating that the Chief Justice and the Supreme Court should not have criticized UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s bulldozer justice policy.(Report: PMI News Desk)
