India Today
As controversy continues over the Gyanvapi Masjid case, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi hit out at AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi over his remarks on the issue.
Union Minister of minority affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi hit out at AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi after the latter claimed that with cases like Gyanvapi and Krishna Jhamabhoomi, an attempt is being made to spread hatred in the country.
Speaking to India Today, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, “Owaisi is spreading rumors as part of his political agenda, but the people are not ready to accept him. This country runs on the basis of the constitution, not deception.”
He alleged that people who do not want the country to progress are spreading rumors related to various religious sites in the country. There is no reason to be afraid of these rumors, Naqvi asserted.

On the issue of madrasas, the BJP leader said that those that are registered on the portal and are doing good work shall continue to receive grants.
However, the madrasas that have not entered their details on the portal shall not be given any grant, Naqvi said.
Meanwhile, criticizing Naqvi's statement, Bhartiya Muslim Vikas Parishad chairman Sami Aghai claimed that the party that the BJP leader is praising is the party that is pushing this country towards communal hatred.
