Paresh Rawal Mocks Ansari Over Muslim Remarks, Says “Get Well Soon”

Paresh Rawal Mocks Ansari Over Muslim Remarks, Says “Get Well Soon”:- Former Vice President Mr. Hamid Ansari has been fired a sardonic salvo by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Rajya Sabha MP Paresh Rawal over his remarks about Muslims of the country.

Rawal took to twitter and apparently mocked Ansari by telling him to “get well soon”. He tweeted:

“Wishing shri Hamid Ansari ji a long and a healthy life so plz GET WELL SOON !”

Mr. Ansari in his last interview on Wednesday also said that a “feeling of unease” was experienced by the Muslims in the country.

“A sense of insecurity is creeping in as a result of the dominant mood created by some and the resultant intolerance and vigilantism,” Ansari said, in an interview to Rajya Sabha TV.

The incidents of lynching and alleged killings were referred by Ansari as a “breakdown of Indian values, breakdown of the ability of the authorities at different levels in different places to be able to enforce what should be normal law enforcing work and over all the very fact that Indianness of any citizen being questioned is a disturbing thought.” For his “Muslim comments”, Ansari has been in the firing line of the other BJP leaders.

BJP Leader Meenakshi Lekhi, earlier on Thursday, told a leading news channel that for the Muslims, there is no better country than India. As in which government Muslims felt more insecure, Ansari should check the facts.

“The time at which he had made these statements shows his intentions. When he was on chair he said nothing about these issues but now at the time of leaving he is doing politics. He wants to try his hand in politics now. He must read first during which government Muslims were more insecure,” Lekhi said.

She further added that Mr. Ansari is disrespecting the position he held. “I thought he is wise and intelligent but whatever statement he gave was not apt. He doesn’t have any information about anything. He will have to read those text books first,” Lekhi added.

Ansari earlier on Thursday, in his last address to Rajya Sabha said that if opposition groups are not given the right to free criticism, then democracy would turn into tyranny. A democracy is distinguished by the protection it gives to minority, added Ansari. The position of the Rajya Sabha Chairman with an umpire or a referee was also compared by Ansari who said, “The chair is like an umpire in Cricket or referee in Hockey, witnessing the play without becoming a player.”
