Muslims are being punished for not migrating to Pakistan: Azam Khan

NEW DELHI: In another controversial statement, Samajwadi Party MP Azam Khan said on Saturday that Muslims in the country are being punished for their decision to not go migrate to Pakistan after the partition in 1947. "Why our ancestors did not go to Pakistan? Well, they considered India as their nation. This is our fault. Maulana Azad, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel and even Bapu had appealed Muslims to not migrate to Pakistan," he said when asked about his views on growing incidents of mob lynching. 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. He also alleged that the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh is fabricating land dispute cases against him because he managed to defeat BJP candidate Jaya Prada in the Lok Sabha elections. The state government recently put Khan's name on anti-land mafia portal after several complaints were registered against him for allegedly grabbing lands in Rampur, his home district. Khan, a former state Cabinet minister, is known for his controversial remarks. During the Lok Sabha elections, he said Jaya Prada wears khaki underwear, a reference to her alleged affiliation with the RSS. "I won the election against powerful people despite their several tactics. I am being punished for that mistake. The Rampur district magistrate went to counting stations wearing a saffron shirt and harassed voters. Still, I emerged victorious," he said. Read the full article

India’s election watchdog on Monday banned four outspoken politicians, including two top members of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party, from campaigning in the country’s national vote for making provocative speeches.

The measures came after the Supreme Court called on the election commission to get tough on hate speech during the world’s biggest election, which started last Thursday and runs to May 19.

Indian politicians are often accused of using hate or intimidation to win support of the electorate, but soliciting votes on religious lines or threatening voters is prohibited.

Maneka Gandhi, the widow of former politician Sanjay Gandhi, received a 48-hour ban for saying Muslims should vote for her – or their future requests could be shunned if she wins.

The election commission said she had violated a provision against appealing “to caste or communal feelings for securing votes” and another against bribery or intimidation.

Gandhi is minister for women and child welfare in the cabinet of Modi, whose Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is seeking a second five-year term.

Critics have accused Modi of imposing a Hindu agenda on the country and emboldening attacks on Muslims and low-caste Dalits.

The election commission gave another 48-hour ban to Dalit leader Mayawati, for calling on Muslims to vote in a bloc against Modi’s BJP.

Mayawati goes by one name.

Yogi Adityanath, the firebrand BJP chief minister of India’s most populous state Uttar Pradesh, was sidelined for three days over his response to Mayawati, comparing the election to a battle between Muslim and Hindu gods.

Hindus – who make up the majority community in India – had “no option” but to support the BJP, he added.

Adityanath and Mayawati made “highly provocative speeches” which had “the tone and tenor to aggravate existing differences or create mutual hatred between different religious communities,” the commission said.

‘Repugnant’

The authority issued a three-day campaign ban to Azam Khan, a senior official in the Samajwadi Party battling the BJP in Uttar Pradesh.

He was sanctioned after passing inappropriate remarks against former Bollywood actress Jaya Prada of the BJP.

The election commission said the comments violated a directive against actions “repugnant to honour and dignity of women.”

Headline-grabbing declarations have marked the Indian campaign by politicians.

Adityanath has already waded into trouble by calling Muslims the “green virus” who are set to “engulf the nation”.

BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj caused controversy last week by saying he was a “saint” who would put a curse on anyone who votes against him.

The Supreme Court has in turn called on opposition Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi to explain why he incorrectly attributed remarks to the court saying that Modi had “committed a theft” in agreeing with a fighter deal with France.

The election commission – often accused of being ineffective – has been flooded with complaints since campaigning started in March, and the Supreme Court told it to “act very promptly” on potential violations.

The watchdog told the court its code of conduct limits the punishments it can mete out, however.

“We can’t de-recognise (parties) or disqualify candidates,” the counsel representing the commission at the hearing on Monday said.

The commission sought to counter critics this month by postponing the release of a fawning film biography of Modi. It also ordered a clampdown on a TV channel dedicated to the prime minister, NaMO TV.
