Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi says most of the lynching cases are 'fabricated and fake'
New Delhi: Union Minister for Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has made a big statement about mob lynchings. When asked about the recent cases of lynchings in our country, Naqvi said most of these cases are concocted and fake.
Naqvi was replying to India Today's question on Samajwadi Party MP Azam Khan's controversial statement who had said that Muslims are still serving the sentence after 1947.
Khan said, "If Muslims went to Pakistan, they would not get this punishment. Why our ancestors did not go to Pakistan? They regarded India as their own country. Now they will be punished and they will have to endure."
Khan, an MP from Rampur in Uttar Pradesh, claimed that Muslims have not been able to live a dignified life in the country. "We have been living a very disgusting life since 1947, and we are very ashamed of it," he said.
Criticising Naqvi, Congress leader Randeep Surjewala told India Today, "I respect Naqvi ji but does he even know what is happening with minority in this country?"
"BJP doesn't feel anything for the minorities. Everyone in the ruling party is trying to shield the culprits", Surjewala added.
Meanwhile, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar sought to play down the killing of a Muslim man and two tribal persons by a mob in Saran district, saying it should not be seen as a case of "mob lynching" as the three men "had been caught stealing cattle".
Almost 43 per cent of all cases of harassment of minorities and Dalits, taken up by NHRC, were registered in Uttar Pradesh alone. This includes cases of lynching.
Between 2016 and 2019, NHRC registered 2,008 cases where minorities/Dalits were harassed. Of these, Uttar Pradesh alone accounted for 869 cases.
