Udaipur, July 2: The Rajasthan police arrested one Maulana Mufti Nadeem, who made offensive comments against ex-BJP spokeswoman Nupur Sharma in Bundi. Following the violent murder of Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur, doubts were raised about police’s failure to arrest Maulana Mufti.
A video of Mufti of Bundi, Rajasthan, went viral on social media, with him threatening to gouge the eyes and chop the hands of people who criticise Prophet Mohammad.
Mufti said, “If the administration says it is not against the law, we will go against the law. If it is against the law, the local administration and the union government must listen… If she has done blasphemy against my master, which she has done, and if someone else does the same, listen carefully… take action against them. If you fail to take action, Muslims will take the matter into their hands.”
Threatening to chop hands and gouge eyes for blasphemy, he said, “You can abuse me, I will tolerate. You can abuse my father, I will tolerate it. You can abuse my family, I will tolerate it. But if you speak even a word against my Nabi, your tongue will be cut. If you raise your hands, they will be chopped. If you raise your finger, it will be chopped. Even if you raise your eyes, we will gouge the eyes and throw them away. After that, you can throw us in jail or do a lathi charge, we will tolerate it. But we cannot tolerate a word against Nabi."
Maulana sympathizers have started to congregate outside the Kotwali police station in Bundi after his arrest. Hence, a large police force has been deployed outside the police station.
