“Amjed Ullah Khan Challenges Rahul Gandhi: ‘Where is Your Mohabbat Ki Dukan?'”
Hyderabad, October 15, 2024: — A violent incident occurred during Durgapuja at the Fiyaz Juice Center, located near the ESI Hospital in Kagaznagar, where a mob of 50-100 individuals, allegedly affiliated with the BJP/RSS, attacked the establishment. The attack resulted in injuries to two Muslim youths, Fiyaz and Riyaz, and involved the looting of the juice center’s belongings, which were thrown onto the road. Eyewitnesses noted that the entire incident unfolded in front of the police.
Amjed Ullah Khan, the spokesperson for the Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT), condemned the brutal assault and expressed concern over the rise in communal violence since the Congress government, led by Chief Minister Anumula Revanth Reddy, came to power in Telangana. “Since Congress assumed control, nearly twenty-three communal incidents have targeted Muslims by Hindutva forces, yet there has been no response from Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Opposition,” Khan stated.
Khan further questioned Rahul Gandhi, asking, “Where is your Mohabbat ki Dukan?” referring to the Congress leader’s rhetoric about love and unity, which he believes has not translated into action for the affected communities.
Khan also questioned why permissions were being granted to Hindu organizations in the Komaram Bheem Asifabad District for such events when Section 144 is still imposed in Jainoor due to previous communal riots. He criticized the disparity in treatment, noting that Muslim leaders and organizations were denied permission to visit Jainoor and distribute relief material, despite both Jainoor and Kagaznagar falling under the same district.
“The Hindu organizations in and around Komaram Bheem Asifabad are allowed to hold daily dharnas and rallies, while Muslim organizations face restrictions,” Khan added, emphasizing that the attack on the juice center appeared to be premeditated. He expressed disappointment over the police’s inaction, stating, “It is shameful that the authorities have not arrested the criminals responsible for this attack.”
Khan concluded by calling for accountability and justice for the victims of this and similar incidents, urging the government to take action against communal violence in the state.
