Congress MP from Saharanpur, Imran Masood, criticized the action being taken by the police after the violence in Bareilly last month and said on Sunday that the government is behaving separately from those who broke the tomb in Fatehpur and the accused of violence in Bareilly.

He said, ‘This shows that two types of laws are going on in the country.’ In a conversation with ‘PTI-Bhasha’, Masood claimed that the police in Bareilly on Friday (September 26), in the case of violence that took place on Friday (26 September), is also sending the innocent Muslims to jail by implicating them in false cases, showing action that two types of laws are going on in the country.

Questions raised on police attitude

He argued and said, ‘When in Fatehpur, when it is vandalized by entering the tomb, standing on the graves, they are disarmed, then there is no action. Neither the police stick, nor the hands and feet are broken, nor the bullet is fired.

The Congress MP told that, ‘During the Kandar Yatra, dhabas falling on the way are broken, they are set on fire, they are looted, passers -by are beaten up and made fun of law. So there is no action, but is pacified by understanding, but if someone stands with the poster of ‘I Love Mohammed’, then you (police) will also break their hands and feet, will also shoot on your feet. So the truth is that different types of laws are applicable for two different classes.

If the atmosphere is spoiled, the common man of the country will suffer- Imran Masood

Imran Masood further said, ‘This kind of condition that is going on in Uttar Pradesh is not right. The Bharatiya Janata Party has destroyed democracy. There is so much hatred among themselves that it becomes difficult to live in the country. Aman and peace are completely over. If the atmosphere is bad then the common man of the country will be crushed.

The MP, recently ransacked in a hotel by Kanwari in Muzaffarnagar, said, ‘You see that no action was taken in Muzaffarnagar. Who was shot there, who was arrested, whose hands and feet were broken?

There, a woman had built a hotel by putting the capital of the whole life, destroyed the entire hotel. There was a waning of hooliganism, so what action was taken? The police kept watching the spectacle. The case was abolished by filing a report against unknown people. There are videos of such incidents, everything is visible. Despite this, no action was taken.

What did MPs say on ‘I Love Mohammed’ controversy?

Referring to the ‘I Love Mohammed’ campaign, Masood said that he does not consider the performance of the poster to be right. He said that no poster is needed to show love for Mohammad Saheb. Being a Muslim in itself is a guarantee that he has love for Prophet Mohammed in his heart.

The police lathi -charged when the protesters were stoned by the protesters during the protests that took place after the prayers of Jumme in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. The protesters gathered with the posters of ‘I Love Mohammed’ outside the house of Ala Hazrat Dargah and IMC chief Maulana Tauqir Raza Khan.
