Congress leader Salman Khursheed has said that the party’s hands are stained with blood. Speaking at a function in Aligarh Muslim University on Sunday, former Union Minister Salman Khurshid made the remark at the in response to a student accusing the Congress of having Muslim blood on its hands and asking how the party proposed to wash it off.
The Congress leader also asserted that that was not a reason why his party should not come forward to protect Muslims in case of attacks against them.
“It is a political question. There is blood on our hands. I am also a part of the Congress so let me say it, we have blood on our hands. Is this why you are trying to tell us that if someone attacks you, we must not come forward to protect you?” Mr Khurshid said. “I am telling you. We are ready to show the blood on our hands so that you realise that you too must not get blood on your hands. If you attack them, you are the ones who would get stains on your hands,” he advised.
Mr Khurshid added: “Learn something from our past. Learn from our history and don’t create such situations for yourself where if you come back to Aligarh Muslim University after 10 years, you find no one like yourself putting out questions.”
BJP reacted sharply to remind congress of the anti sikh riots that shook the capital in 1984
Media saddens. They question right to speak truth. They distort reply to isolated hostile question by imputing confession instead of reporting ‘despite allegations would you deny our duty to protect you from harm?’ Sensationalism for profit?
