Don't force anyone to say 'Jai Shri Ram': Naqvi

New Delhi, Jun 25 (IANS): You can hug a person to make him say "Jai Shri Ram" but no force can be used, Union Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said here on Tuesday.

Talking to reporters on the sidelines of an event, he said: "Jai Shri Ram gala daba kar nahi bola jata, balki gale laga kar bola jata hai (You cannot force anyone to say Jai Shri Ram by strangling but by hugging him)."

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader was referring to the attack on a young Muslim man in Jharkhand who died after being beaten by a mob which first accused him of theft and then forced him to say "Jai Shri Ram".

Terming the incident as "unfortunate", Naqvi said there was no justification for such incidents.

"We are completely dedicated to our agenda of development and there is no place for any destructive agenda."

The Minister accused "mischievous people" of indulging in such violence only to tarnish the government's image. They will face the law, he added.

    'Jai Hind' is not good enough for BJP extremists. They want nothing less than 'Jai Sri Ram'.

    Brother, Jossy, obviously, he must get approval from his masters to utter even a single word on issues like these. Otherwise, he is out of business. And everyone knows he is the puppet of the party.

    If you recall, a few weeks back when newly elected Gatam Gambir voiced against some incidents of violence against minorities, he was immediately asked shut up by his bosses.

    So, no free will.
