Union Minister Pralhad Joshi calls for Congress to expel Zameer Ahmad
Hubballi: Union Minister Pralhad Joshi expressed strong criticism against Congress leader Zameer Ahmad Khan, urging the Congress party to "expel Zameer Ahmad" if it values integrity. Addressing the media in Hubballi on Wednesday, Joshi accused Zameer Ahmad of involvement in "encroachments on Wakf properties" and called for his immediate removal from the party.
Joshi further alleged that Zameer Ahmad has been inciting communal discord, stating, "Zameer Ahmad has been spreading communal hatred. Congress should distance itself from such individuals if it holds any ethical standards."
Commenting on Congress's secular stance, Joshi criticised the party for its approach, claiming, "Despite Congress’s pseudo-secularism and appeasement policies, not an inch of land belonging to Muzrai temples has been added, while Wakf properties are reportedly increasing. Major temples remain under the control of the state government and Muzrai Department, with their assets unchanged. How, then, are Wakf properties expanding?" he questioned.
