Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)Chief Mayawati on Tuesday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) governments at the centre and in Uttar Pradesh of giving step-motherly treatment to Muslims.
Mayawati said India is a secular country where all religions are respected but the biased attitude of the central and state governments is worrisome.
Taking to X, she wrote, “India is a secular country that respects all religions. In such a situation, the central and state governments should treat the followers of all religions equally without any bias, but now the step-motherly attitude being adopted with Muslims even in religious matters is not justified.”
She said, “The rules and regulations related to restrictions and exemptions regarding festivals of all religions should be implemented equally without any bias, which is not seen happening. It is natural that peace and mutual harmony in the society will deteriorate due to this, which is very worrying. Governments must pay attention to this.”
