'Indian Muslims Are Oppressed And Tortured'

Maulana Inayatullah Abbasi said, "It will be impossible for Hindus in India to build a Hindu-centric system, like the Jewish model. The BJP, which has now taken power in West Bengal, is already moving in this direction. Beef shops are being demolished, and Muslims are being oppressed and tortured. This must be opposed at all costs."

Targets Tarique Rahman Government

He also targeted the Tarique Rahman government of Bangladesh. Maulana said, "The Bangladesh government has a huge responsibility indeed, a very important duty to combat this situation. A stern warning must be given to India that we will cut off our trade relations with them. Also, it must be made clear that if Muslims are not safe in West Bengal, Hindus in Bangladesh will not be allowed to be safe. A concerted diplomatic and political pressure must be exerted."
