The PDP leader Mehabooba Mufti a constituent of riling NDA government in a debate of intolerance on Friday lashed out at those who tell Muslims to ‘go to Pakistan’.
Speaking about intolerance in India in the debate she said, there is intolerance in India and compared to the situation in the other countries like Syria and Pakistan where Muslims are killed but no one has got an opportunity to open their mouth to speak.
“To those who ask (Muslims) to go to Pakistan, I want to say that the nation owns us and we own the nation,” she said in the Lok Sabha while participating in the debate on the Constitution.
“Indian Muslims follow the real Islam. This is also because the Hindu majority (community) is very tolerant. Babasaheb must have taken tolerance from Hinduism. The way Hinduism has the tolerance, perhaps no one has it. The historians, authors and scienitists have been protesting and returning their awards. The way they came out in protest keeps the nation alive. In Pakistan or Syria even if Muslim is killed one cannot open their mouth,” she said.
Mufti praised Ambedkar for perfectly designing the constitution, unlike the current politicians who are waiting for the next election; he thought good lessons by drafting constitution.
