Union Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has sought to see the killing and burning of a Muslim labourer in Rajasthan earlier this week as a “criminal incident” and not as a case with a so called “love jihad” angle to it, as was being alleged.
The minority affairs minister also, without naming anyone, said that some "sick" people were allegedly trying to disturb the communal harmony in society. He said a crime should not be clubbed with religion. Naqvi, however, stressed people allegedly doing so will not succeed in their "nefarious designs".
“It is an unfortunate incident. We should not club crime with religion...and treat criminal incidents as criminal incidents only. The State government has already taken strict action against the guilty,” Mr. Naqvi said when asked about Mohammed Afrazul’s killing in Rajsamand.
“Some sick people are trying to disturb the communal harmony in society. But they will not succeed in their nefarious designs,” he added.
A 48-year-old Muslim labourer, from West Bengal, was hacked and burnt to death in Rajasthan's Rajsamand earlier this week, leading the police to arrest the killer. The accused, identified as Shambu Lal Raigar, is seen in the videos ranting against "love jihad", a term used by chauvinists.
