Owaisi blames BJP for attacks on mosques and houses in Kolhapur
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.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
