New Delhi [India], December 7 (ANI): Congress Lok Sabha MP Imran Masood on Saturday hit out at Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati over her statement against opposition parties for not raising the issues of the country and public interest in the Parliament. The Congress leader asked BSP chief to focus on her party.
Speaking to ANI, Congress MP Masood reiterated that the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister should save her party instead of being concerned about others.
“Why doesn’t she try and make the Dalits happy? She should save her party instead of being concerned about others… In 2007, the party that came to power on its own, now that party doesn’t even get numbers needed enough to save its security money, so she should focus on that,” Congress MP Imran Masood told ANI.
The Congress MPs resonse came after Bahujan Samaj Party chief attacked the Samajwadi Party and Congress saying that both the parties are trying to please the Muslim voters under the pretext of violence in Sambhal.
“In the Parliament, the opposition is not raising the issues of the country and public interest. For their political interests, especially the SP and Congress party are trying to please the Muslim voters under the pretext of violence in Sambhal. They have nothing to do with other issues,” the BSP chief said, addressing a press conference.
“Not only this, but these parties are also making the Muslim communities fight among themselves in Sambhal. The Muslim community also has to be cautious,” she added.
She also questioned the silence of Congress on the Bangladesh issue and said that because of the “mistake” of Congress, the people there are suffering losses.
“Hindus are becoming victims of crimes in large numbers in the neighbouring country Bangladesh. Most of them are Dalits and people from weaker sections… The Congress party is silent and is now shouting, ‘Be careful,’ only for Muslim votes,” the BSP chief said.
Mayawati’s response came in the wake of allegations against the Bangladesh interim government of atrocities against the Hindu community in the country. (ANI)
