Earlier on Sunday, Mohan Bhagwat while addressing a function organized by RSS’s minority wing, Muslim Rashtriya Manch in Ghaziabad said that those who are lynching Muslims in the name of cow are going against Hindutva.
“If a Hindu says that no Muslim should live here, then the person is not Hindu. Cow is a holy animal but the people who are lynching others are going against Hindutva. Law should take its own course against them without any partiality,” Bhagwat said.
The ironical statements didn’t sit well with many including the AIMIM Chief Asadudin Owaisi, who said, “These criminals would not know the difference between cow and buffalo but the names of Junaid, Akhlaq, Pehlu, Rakbar, Alimuddin were enough to kill.”
Owaisi further said, “This hatred is the product of Hindutva. These criminals have the backbone of the Hindutva government.”
Owaisi referred to the instances of crimes against Muslims and said “Alimuddin’s killers were garlanded at the hands of a Union minister, a tricolour was placed over the body of Akhlaq’s killer, a mahapanchayat was convened in support of those who killed Asif, where a BJP spokesperson had asked, ‘Can’t we even murder?’”,
“Cowardice, violence and murder are an integral part of Godse’s Hindutva thinking. The lynching of Muslims is also the result of this thinking,” the AIMIM chief expressed.
