Mumbai – AIMIM (All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen) leader Imtiaz Jaleel has said he would cut off the hand of any individual who dares to touch Muslim women with ill intent amid a row over a comment made by a Uttar Pradesh minister after Bihar CM Nitish Kumar pulled down hijab from a woman’s face. Uttar Pradesh Minister Sanjay Nishad had commented on this, saying, “Nitish Kumar only touched the niqab (a veil covering the face). What would have happened if he had touched her elsewhere ?”
Addressing a rally in Jalna city in Maharashtra on Friday, Jaleel alleged the “so-called secular parties” favour goons and criminal elements, but hesitate to support Muslims. (Jaleel should understand that the public knows who stands up for the rights of Muslims ! – Editor) He targeted Nitish Kumar over the Hijab controversy.
