Baghpat: Calling for removal of all mosques located near temples, UP’s fisheries minister Sanjay Nishad has sparked a fresh controversy. Saying that a religious frenzy has spread in India, Nishad suggested that the mosques, which are located near temples, should be removed.
Expressing his views on the survey of madrasas in the state, Nishad’s false claim was that madrasa have been found to have been connected with terrorism. He went on to say that terrorists have been caught from there a number of times.
Accusing the opposition of spreading a religious frenzy and triggering riots in association with the ‘maulanas’, the BJP minister claimed that incidents of riots have come down since the Yogi Adityanath government has come to power in Uttar Pradesh and Narendra Modi at the Centre. PTI reported.
He also made an unproven claim that the ‘maulanas’ have increased the poverty in the country, and added that it is because of them that Muslim children are deprived of education.
