Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Friday hit out at Hamid Ansari for his remarks over Hindu nationalism, saying what the previous vice chairman has mentioned is “wrong” and as a member of the minority group he can proudly say that India is the most secure nation.

At a digital panel dialogue organized by the Indian American Muslim Council on Wednesday, Ansari and 4 US lawmakers had expressed concern over the present human rights scenario in India,

“What Hamid Ansari ji said is wrong..I belong to a minority community and I can proudly say that India is safest nation. Minorities facing trouble in any of our neighboring countries prefer to seek refuge in India because India is safe. Let’s be grateful to our great nation,” Rijiju mentioned in a sequence of tweets.

Participating within the panel dialogue from India, former vice chairman Ansari had expressed his concern over the rising pattern of Hindu nationalism.

“In latest years, we now have skilled the emergence of tendencies and practices that dispute the well-established precept of civic nationalism and interpose a brand new and imaginary observe of cultural nationalism…. It needs to differentiate residents on the premise of their religion, give vent to intolerance, insinuate otherness, and promote disquiet and insecurity,” he had alleged.

Countering Ansari, Rijiju mentioned some remoted incidents do happen at individual-community stage “but Indian culture is always inclusive. Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji’s mantra is sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas, sabka prayas”.

Before 2014, communal riots and violence have been common however India is extra peaceable now, the Union minister mentioned.

“Why some people who enjoy the best freedom and privilege in India join the anti-India propaganda peddled by foreign based anti India forces? What’s the satisfaction that they acquire by defaming India? At least, people in remote villages without facilities are loyal to motherland,” Rijiju mentioned in a dig at Ansari.
