Well-known actor Naseeruddin Shah's reaction has now come to the fore on the comments of two former BJP leaders regarding Prophet Mohammad. Veteran Bollywood actor Naseeruddin Shah on Wednesday hoped that one day a better understanding will prevail among the people and the "wave of hatred" against Muslims will be destroyed. With this, he urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and stop it. Shah, who has won the National Award many times till now, said in an interview to a news channel, 'I would request him (the Prime Minister) to give a little better understanding to these people. If he believes in what was said in the Parliament of Religions in Rishikesh, then he should say so. Even if he doesn't believe in it, he should say this.'
You all must be aware that BJP on Sunday suspended its national spokesperson Nupur Sharma and expelled its Delhi unit's media chief Naveen Kumar Jindal for making controversial remarks against Prophet. At the same time, Naseeruddin Shah told a private channel about this, 'The action taken by the Government of India, was very little and too late.' Apart from this, he said, 'Pakistan, Bangladesh or Afghanistan, which we hope to include in 'Akhand Bharat' one day, in such countries such a statement would mean the death penalty, as it would be considered blasphemy. Here the people sitting at the top did not say anything and no one spoke about the suffering caused to lakhs of people who have faith. With this, Nupur Sharma apologized after being suspended by the party, which Naseeruddin Shah called hypocrisy.
In fact, he said, 'It was hardly the motive to pacify the hurt feelings. I wouldn't be surprised if this kind of hate-creating thing happens again. It is ironic that when you talk of peace and unity, you are jailed for more than a year.' Further, he said, 'George Orwell in his novel 1984 defines dual thinking as 'the holding of two conflicting thoughts in one mind and believing both at the same time'. Shah said Sharma was not a "marginalized element" as claimed by the BJP. He said that the time has come for sensible Hindus to speak out against hatred against the Muslim community. He blames TV news channels and social media solely for the 'propaganda of hatred'. With this, he clearly mentioned the current case of Gyanvapi Masjid complex in Varanasi and said, 'This is hatred created. It's a kind of poison that starts to spew when you encounter a person of opposite thinking.
Further, he condemned the threats to kill Nupur Sharma and her family. He said, 'This path is wrong. That's why there is so much chaos in Pakistan and Afghanistan. We do not want to emulate these countries, but are we doing so unwillingly? People are being beaten to death not only for slaughtering cows, but also on suspicion of cow slaughter, untouchables (supposedly) people who skin a dead cow are publicly flogged. Such things did not happen in India, but in barbaric Islamic countries.
