Blaming the BJP for an attack on a mosque and houses of the minority community at Kolhapur, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi termed the vandalism an act of terrorism encouraged by the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis Government in Maharashtra.
He pointed out that in the past eight months, such attacks on mosques were carried out in Maharashtra with impunity.
“This is a kind of a terrorist attack on mosques… There is the Shinde-Fadnavis BJP government and because of that government such attacks are being carried out on mosques,” Owaisi said, accusing the police of being a mute spectator when such attacks take place.
“Such incidents are being encouraged, directly or indirectly, by the Shinde-led BJP Government which is why the culprits carry out the attacks with impunity,” he added.
Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said, “You want to be Vishwaguru and you are standing on a mosque trying to demolish it.”
Alleging deliberate targeting of Muslims and mosques, he urged people to vote for the AIMIM so that someone could at least raise the issue while the so-called secular parties were maintaining silence over it. A mob had attacked the mosque and houses of Muslims on Sunday.
Expressing concern over the recent terrorist attack at Doda killing four Army personnel, the AIMIM leader called it the result of the complete failure of the Modi Government in maintaining law and order in J&K.
“It is a failure of the Modi Government. What has happened in Doda… the area is too far away from the LoC. How is it that the terrorists infiltrated and carried out the attack on security personnel,” he wondered, adding it showed the “incapability” of the Modi Government to ensure security in the region.
He asked how the prime minister could claim that terror incidents have gone down following the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.
He pointed out that the government is continuing with its trade with China worth billions of dollars even as the neighbouring country is playing a role in destabilising the region.

Ramgarh (Jharkhand) (PTI): Jharkhand police on Thursday said it has unearthed a network of interstate cyber frauds and arrested four miscreants for fraudulent transactions through a bank account in Ramgarh district after complaints of 274 suspected transactions in 24 states.
The states where complaints for fraudulent transactions were registered included Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.
The action followed inputs received through 'Samanvaya portal', a centralised, web-based platform launched by the Union Home Ministry to curb cybercrime.
"We arrested four cyber miscreants after a current account with Kuju (Ramgarh) branch of the State Bank of India was found to have registered suspected financial transactions in 24 states with the help of the Pratibimba portal of the Home Ministry through the Samanvaya portal," Ramgarh Superintendent of Police Mukesh Kumar Lunayat said.
During the probe, police found that the account was opened under the MSME Udyam Registration scheme in the name of Shree Ganesh Enterprises, he said.
The account had been linked to as many as 274 complaints from different states related to cyber fraud and illegal fund transfers.
The registered proprietors of the enterprise were identified as Rahul Gupta (37), Ravi Kumar Verma (34), and Ajay Sharma (33), all residents of Ramgarh district, a statement from the Ramgarh police said.
During interrogation, Rahul Gupta and Ravi Kumar Verma revealed that they had opened multiple current accounts at the behest of Ritesh Agrawal alias Munna (40) and Sonu Kumar Jha (34).
They admitted receiving Rs 1.2 lakh in exchange for facilitating the opening of these accounts.
"The accused further confessed to sharing OTPs, activating mobile banking services, and handing over control of the accounts to the main operators through WhatsApp and Telegram groups. These accounts were then allegedly used to route fraudulent transactions.
Police said mobile data analysis of the accused led to the recovery of crucial digital evidence, including details of SIM cards, bank accounts, passbooks, ATM cards, QR code scanners, Aadhaar cards, and PAN cards shared through messaging platforms.
A total of four accused have been arrested so far and sent to judicial custody.
A case has been registered at the Cyber Crime Police Station under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023 and Sections 66C and 66D of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
Further investigation is underway, the police said.
