Slamming BJP and RSS for the incident, Owaisi said, "such incidents are not going to stop as the BJP and RSS have increased hate against the Muslims in society."
A day after a 22-year-old man had succumbed to injuries after he was beaten to death by the locals in Jharkhand's Saraikela, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday slammed BJP and RSS for the incident and hatred against the Muslims in the society.
The deceased has been identified as Tabrez Ansari, who was allegedly targeted by the locals, was later rescued by police and detained on suspicion of theft. The deceased was admitted to a local hospital where he succumbed to injuries. The incident happened on Sunday (June 23).
Slamming BJP and RSS for the incident, Owaisi said, "such incidents are not going to stop as the BJP and RSS have increased hate against the Muslims in society."
Contrary to Owaisi's allegations, Jharkhand Minister CP Singh said that a trend of linking such incidents to the BJP and right-wing organisations is prevalent. The minister said that the state government would conduct an investigation in the case.
Tabrez's family, however, alleged that the attack was communal and that he was made to chant 'Jai Shri Ram' and 'Jai Hanuman'. An FIR has been registered in the case.
