Mumbai: In the wake of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Samajwadi Party today organized a movement under the leadership of Mumbai/Maharashtra State President MLA Abu Asim Azmi at Azad Maidan Mumbai and demanded action against sectarians who are spoiling the social atmosphere by making hateful statements against the Muslim community.

Addressing the Jam Ghafir, Abu Asim Azmi said that we condemn the terrorist attack in Pahalgam but in such a sensitive context, the state minister is continuously making anti-Muslim statements and creating division between the two religions. Apart from this, Muslim hawkers were beaten up in Dadar and other parts of Mumbai. Due to which there has been a problem of law and order. Therefore, we demand strict action against Minister Nitish Rane and people like him who make statements against Muslims. According to the Supreme Court’s decision in the 2023 hate speech case, strict legal action should be taken against the guilty individuals and organizations, those who do not care about secularism, those who spread hatred, those who incite violence, those who give public threats, those who call for economic boycott, those who create division among people on the basis of religion, caste, region or language. The state, as per its duty, protects the fundamental rights and freedom of every citizen to do business, trade, and business. The state should protect the freedom and belief of every citizen, according to the articles of the Indian Constitution, there should be an environment of peace and justice in the state. It is demanded that the rule of law and justice should be established in the most transparent manner by implementing the law and by sternly admonishing the enemies of peace, law and constitution who violate the law.

The Samajwadi Party delegation submitted a protest request to Mumbai Police Commissioner Vivek Pansalkar. Hundreds of Samajwadi Party workers were present at that time, including Meraj Siddiqui, Yousuf Abrahani, Rahul Gaikwad, Kabir Maurya, Saeed Khan, Zeba Malik.
