Samajwadi Party MP Javed Ali Khan has stirred a political controversy by alleging that the Bharatiya Janata Party's 'poison' has affected the majority community in the country. Speaking at an event, Khan claimed that the BJP's divisive politics has seeped into the social fabric, leading to a toxic environment.
Khan's Statement
Addressing a gathering in Uttar Pradesh, Javed Ali Khan said, "BJP's poison has affected the majority community. They have been spreading hatred and division for years, and now it has become part of the society." He further accused the party of using religion and caste for political gains.
Reactions from BJP
The BJP strongly condemned Khan's remarks, calling them irresponsible and inflammatory. Party spokesperson said, "Such statements are an attempt to divide society and create unrest. The SP MP should apologize immediately."
BJP leaders demanded action against Khan for his comments, which they said undermine national unity.
Political Implications
The controversy has added fuel to the ongoing political rivalry between the Samajwadi Party and the BJP in Uttar Pradesh, which is set to go to polls next year. Analysts say such statements could polarize voters further.
Javed Ali Khan, a two-time MP from Rampur, has been known for his outspoken views against the BJP's policies. This is not the first time he has made controversial remarks.
The SP has defended its MP, saying he was highlighting the reality of BJP's divisive agenda. However, the opposition has called for an unbiased investigation into the matter.
