New Delhi: Union Minister Satya Pal Singh Baghel sparked controversy when he said that “tolerant Muslims can be counted on fingers” and that it “was a tactic to lead a public life wearing a mask” since it can lead to vice president, governor, or vice chancellor seats.But after they finish their tenure in government or retire, the “so-called intellectuals” in the community show their true colors, he claimed.
The remarks were made by the Union minister of state for law and justice on Monday while speaking at the Dev Rishi Narad Patrakar Samman Samaroh, a ceremony for awarding journalists that was put on by the media arm of the RSS, Indraprastha Vishwa Samvad Kendra.
Tolerance among Muslims, according to Union Minister SP Singh Baghel, “can be counted on fingers. They don’t even number in the thousands, in my opinion. As the path leads to the residence of the vice president, governor, or vice-chancellor, it is also a strategy for living in public while wearing the mask.
Additionally, he continued, “But when they retire, they make real statements.” When they get up from the chair, they make a declaration that reflects their reality.
In his speech at the occasion, Information Commissioner Uday Mahurkar stated that India must combat Islamic fundamentalism but that “tolerant Muslims should be taken along.” The remarks of Union ministers followed.
Mahurkar asserted that Chhatrapati Shivaji had viewed him in a “positive light” in reference to the Mughal emperor Akbar’s initiatives to promote Hindu-Muslim cooperation during his tenure. He claimed that Akbar did his best to bring about Muslim-Hindu harmony.
Baghel disseminated the remarks, claiming that Akbar’s actions were merely “tactics” and that his marriage to Jodha Bai was a part of his “political strategy.”
“It was not a heartfelt act.” Look at the Mughal period and the deeds of Aurangzeb; otherwise, the massacre of Chittorgarh would not have occurred.” “I sometimes wonder how we managed to survive.”
Baghel claimed that the fall of Rajput King Prithviraj Chouhan by Muhammad Ghori in 1192 AD marked the start of India’s dark ages.
