Maulana appealing to hoist Islamic flag instead of tricolour arrested

Incident at Ballia UP

(Maulana is Islamic scholar)

Ballia (UP) – Maulana Shahabuddin has been arrested in Jamin Padsara village. The accused maulana had asked people to hoist Islamic flag instead of Indian tricolour. He also spoke against Hindutva and RSS. When he was arrested, hundreds of Muslims mobbed the police station. (Action must be taken against those who pressurise Police for the release of the accused, so that they don’t dare take law in their hands.-Editor)

During the procession of Barawafat  maulana Shahabuddin delivered an objectionable speech at Jama Masjid. He said, “Those who wear shorts and half pyjamas are anti-Islam and anti-nation. Hindus hoist flags to spread their ideology; Muslims should also hoist Islamic flags. He also raised question on the tricolour and asked people to hoist Islamic flag.

The speech went viral on the social media. Activists of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal filed a complaint against this with the District Collector and the Superintendent of Police and demanded strict action against the maulana. Nagra Police station in-charge Ajaykumar Tripathi said, “The video is being verified.”

Editorial Perspective

This proves that for Muslims, their religion is priority and the nation is secondary. Please note, not a single Muslim, congressman or secularist opposed the maulana.
