‘Leave the country’: UP minister Sanjay Nishad slams detractors of Holi
Uttar Pradesh locker government minister and NISHAD company chief Sanjay Nishad on th said that those who feature a problem with Holi colours “should leave the country”.At a ‘Holi Milan’ event in Gorakhpur, Nishad alleged that some opposition leaders were trying to create divisions in society. "People embrace each other during Friday prayers, and they do the same while celebrating Holi. Both are festivals of togetherness, yet some politicians don't want this unity. A certain section is being misled by poisoning their minds, and they, too, are citizens of this country. If they have issues with colours, they shouldn't just stay indoors...they should leave the country," PTI quoted the minister as saying.ALSO READ: ‘Minor incidents’ do happen in such a big event: UP Minister on Maha Kumbh stampede"They colour fabrics, paint their houses, and wear vibrant clothes. If they truly had an issue with colours, how would they engage in these activities?" he asked. “Some claim that applying colours harms their faith, yet they wear colourful clothes without hesitation. The biggest traders of colours belong to this very community," he added. Bihar BJP MLA urges Muslims to stay indoors on HoliOn March 10, a BJP MLA in Bihar stirred controversy over his “appeal” to Muslims, urging them to stay indoors during Holi. "I want to appeal to Muslims there are 52 jummas (Fridays) in a year. The one this week coincides with Holi. So, they should let Hindus celebrate the festival and not take offence if colours are smeared on them. If they have such a problem, they should stay indoors. This is essential for maintaining communal harmony," Haribhushan Thakur Bachaul, the MLA from Bisfi assembly constituency in Madhubani district, said.ALSO READ: 'Don't throw colour on Muslims without...': Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi“They have always had double standards.
