BJP spokesperson Shazia Ilmi gives befitting response to Al Jazeera's motivated questions on Ram Mandir

Op India  

Al Jazeera’s motivated questions aimed at BJP spokesperson Shazia Ilmi took no one by surprise and have instead only confirmed the Qatar-based channel’s hatred for Hindu-majority India. Shazia also said that Al Jazeera had cherry-picked facts and quoted such members of the Muslim society and others who see the Ram Mandir as a threat. The third motivated question from Al Jazeera was if the Ram Mandir was a “vote-getter” for the BJP and Narendra Modi in the election year. Shazia said, “To be honest, yes you can’t undermine the fact that this will yield electoral dividends to the BJP but this has been part of BJP’s manifesto since 1990, ever since the entire movement on Ram Temple has begun.” She also mentioned that Muslims too were given 5 acres of land by the SC and that Babri is not even a revered place like Mecca, Medina or Al Aqsa whereas Ayodhya itself is the birthplace of Lord Ram.
