No action for Hanuman Chalisa at police station but jail for Muhammad poster: Imran Masood

Congress MP Imran Masood said,"If a member of the Hindu community sits in a police station and recites Hanuman Chalisa, no action will be taken against them, but if a Muslim person stands on the road holding a poster, immediate action is taken against them".

MP Imran Masood made this statement on the ongoing controversy of "I Love Muhammad" posters.

 Police have taken action in several places for putting up "I Love Muhammad" posters.MP Imran Masood has accused the BJP government of carrying out selective actions.He  that the actions are selective.

Attacking the BJP government, he said that they feel no pain in shooting Muslims, wielding sticks, or sending them to jail. Therefore, Muslims should explain to their children that they should focus on their studies and work.

Masood raised questions about the action taken against religious leader Tauqeer Raza, saying that there was nothing there at all, just posters in their hands. But they created a commotion by resorting to lathi charge.

Referring to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's recent speech, he said that his language itself shows that his target is clear.

He advised the Muslim community, saying that the mosque is for worship; offer namaz. But if four people create a ruckus outside, the entire community will have to pay the price for it. Therefore, everyone must understand and move forward responsibly.
