Patna (Bihar) – Muslims are insecure in India. Therefore, I have asked my children who are studying abroad to get jobs and citizenship there, said Abdul Bari Siddiqui, the leader of the ruling Rashtriya Janata Dal. Therefore, he is facing criticism.

RJD leader Abdul Bari Siddiqui said that he asked his son and daughter to get jobs abroad, and if possible, get citizenship there as well.https://t.co/FAwL4pR3Hd

1. Abdul Bari Siddiqui said,” I have a son who attends Harvard University and a daughter who has passed out from the London School of Economics. I told my son and daughter to work there (abroad) only, to get citizenship if they can. I told them that the atmosphere (in India) is such that I don’t know whether they will be able to bear it or not”.

2. Bihar BJP spokesperson Nikhil Anand criticised Siddiqui’s statement and said that people like Siddiqui call themselves liberals; however, his thinking is like people from madarasa. They are rebelling against their own country.

Editorial Viewpoints

• Siddiqui should ask all seculars to go abroad with him to see how many countries are willing to provide them refuge if he truly feels this way.
• When Rohingya Muslims were evicted from Myanmar, no Islamic country offered refuge except Bangladesh (that too unwillingly).
