AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan has said that his party colleague Tahir Hussain was facing harassment from the law enforcement agencies in the Delhi violence case only because he was a Muslim. Khan, who recently won his election from Okhla by a huge margin, took to his social media page to make these allegations. The allegations came a day after Hussain was arrested by the Delhi Police. “Hussain is being punished today simply because he’s Muslim. Perhaps being a Muslim is the biggest crime in India.
