Has hurt India’s standing, says Opposition on remarks by 2 BJP spokespersons

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi: The Opposition on Monday launched a sharp attack on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party for the controversial remarks on Prophet Mohammed by its two spokespersons who were removed by the party yesterday after a barrage of criticism. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said Nupun Sharma, who was suspended by the BJP on Sunday for her controversial remarks, should have been arrested “Divided internally, India becomes weak externally. BJP’s shameful bigotry has not only isolated us, but also damaged India’s standing globally,” Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said in a post on Twitter. The BJP on Sunday suspended Nupur Sharma from the party with immediate effect and expelled spokesperson Naveen Kumar Jindal, asserting that it “strongly denounces insult of any religious personalities of any religion”. “On one side, BJP spreads hatred using religious polarization and disrespects the Indian culture of ‘Vasudev Kutumbakam’ and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation have issued statements denouncing their remarks.
