Web Desk (May 04,2018):The recent controversies in India regarding Quaid-e-Azam portrait led an ex-police officer to speak about the issue.
Ruling Party Bhartya Janata Party MP Satish Gautam in a letter to the Vice Chancellor Tariq Mansoor demanded Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) to remove portrait of Quaid-e-Azam.
Days later Hindu groups barged into the university to protest the presence of the portrait.
Police used tear gas and resorted to baton charge to disperse the students of the university when they marched towards a police station to get a case registered against the attackers.
The demand from the BJP lawmaker has also sparked a debate on the social media.
Perhaps The most convincing response to the hatemongers came from a former Indian Police Service officer Sanjiv Bhatt who has over 350,000 followers on Twitter.
The former Officer shared a picture of statues of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Gandhi displayed at a Museum in Islamabad.
He captioned the picture with a convincing argument:
“This is a picture of Gandhi’s statue at Islamabad’s National Monuments Museum.
This is a picture of Gandhi’s statue at the Islamabad Museum.
Jinnah did far more for the Indian Freedom Movement than the entire RSS put to together. He was a freedom fighter both India and Pakistan should be proud of.
