AIMIM leader condemns BJP lawmaker’s remarks about Muslim women

AIMIM State president Mohsin Ali Khan has criticised remarks attributed to Bharatiya Janata Party lawmaker Rameshwar Sharma, saying they would divide India, The Hindu reports. Khan said Sharma’s comments were unacceptable and urged him to take the matter up with senior leaders in the Bharatiya Janata Party. His response was quoted in connection with remarks concerning Muslim women.

The supplied source material does not provide the full context of Sharma’s comments or explain where or when they were made. It also does not include a response from Sharma or from other BJP leaders. Khan said he wanted to tell Sharma that what the BJP lawmaker had said “definitely works to divide this country”.

He then called on Sharma to address the issue with his senior party leadership. The available material does not state whether any disciplinary action has been announced, whether Sharma has withdrawn or clarified the remarks, or whether other political parties have commented. The dispute therefore centres on Khan’s condemnation of the BJP MLA’s comments and his appeal for the matter to be taken to senior party leaders.
