A BJP MLA from Madhya Pradesh has triggered a controversy with his comments on the entry of Muslims at Garba events, with the opposition Congress and AIMIM slamming the language of the BJP leader.
“Why do Muslim boys want to come to Garba alone? I would simply say: mend your ways. Stop being insolent. Do not spew such filthy remarks. Meanwhile, AIMIM Madhya Pradesh president Mohsin Ali Khan stated that Sharma needs to read the Constitution. Such statements serve to divide the country. Rameshwar Sharma should consult with BJP leaders like Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and Shahnawaz Hussain.
Speaking at a public event, BJP MLA from Huzur constituency in state capital Bhopal, Rameshwar Sharma, said that Muslim boys shouldn’t come “alone to Garba, but also bring their sisters and daughters”. They shouldn’t come alone; instead, they should bring their sisters and daughters along,” the MLA said. Congress MLA from Bhopal Central, Arif Masood, said, “Rameshwar Sharma’s statement is extremely vile and cheap.
