BSP MP Danish Ali faces death threats after Parliament racial abuse incident
The HinduPublished : Sep 29, 2023 12:22 IST - 4 MINS READ BSP MP Kunwar Danish Ali, who endured abuse on the floor of Parliament on September 21, has disclosed that he has been receiving death threats over the phone and has been targeted by a dedicated smear campaign During the “special” session of Lok Sabha from September 18 to 22, Ali was verbally abused by BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri, who hurled communal remarks at him. But now it is happening to an elected representative, inside Parliament, which is shocking.” Ali has received support from people from various walks of life, including university students, political leaders, advocates, and social activists. Ali asserts that the BJP aims to establish a Hindu Rashtra, where Muslims will constantly be “put in their place”, abused on the streets, and even within Parliament. Ali dismissed these claims, stating, “Every political leader has his or her own style of functioning.” He praised Rahul Gandhi as a sensitive and good person who stood in solidarity with him during his visit.
