Samajwadi Party MP from Moradabad, S T Hasan has said that the devastation caused by recent cyclones and the Covid-19 pandemic as a result of ‘aasmani aafat’ (divine disaster) because the Bhartia Janata Party (BJP) government at the centre has been messing with the Islamic Sharia law during the 7 years of its rule.
This outrageous statement was made by the Moradabad MP when he said, “The BJP government in the last seven years has tampered with the Islamic Sharia law. They have passed the Citizenship Amendment Act, which is against Muslims. We have also witnessed two storms wreaking havoc in a matter of just 10 days. Thousands of people have died due to the coronavirus outbreak. If the ones on the earth do not do justice, then the ones above take charge and deliver justice.”

Hasan then said that the state’s BJP government “total failure” to provide the people of the state with an opportunity to perform the last rites of those who died of Covid-19.
“Has anyone ever seen dead bodies of human beings being abandoned and dogs feeding on them? Where else in the world are bodies thrown in rivers instead of being cremated? Cremation grounds facing shortage of wood for funeral pyres? What kind of government do we have?” he asked.
On drawing a link between government decisions and natural calamities, Hasan said: “We Indians are a very religious lot and strongly believe that some supernatural being exists which controls the world and imparts justice.”
Reacting to Hasan’s remarks, UP’s Minister for Minority Affairs, Mohsin Raza described Hasan’s approach who happens to be a doctoras similar to that of the Islamic State (IS) terror group.
“It is more than clear from his statements that people like him do not have faith in the Constitution of the country. They want Samajwadi Party to form the government and introduce Sharia law thereafter. Their language is identical to the IS. Such people only believe in Sharia law.
“The problem of Hasan and Samajwadi Party leaders is that Holi is being celebrated in a big way in Barsana and for them, CAA being introduced is injustice and so is abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir,” Raza added.
