Bhopal: ‘Out of 220 million, even if one or two million from the 220 million are lost, it won’t matter,’ stated former Governor and senior Congress figure, Aziz Qureshi. The former Governor’s remarks have raised eyebrows and caused a stir, positioning him at the forefront of current discourse. In a statement that has captured attention across the nation, Qureshi underscored his disregard for potential losses within a significant demographic.
Amid this backdrop, Aziz Qureshi’s name is now associated with controversy rather than statesmanship. His assertion about Congress leaders adopting slogans like “Jai Ganga Maiya, Jai Narmada Maiya” highlights his deep-seated concerns about the party’s trajectory.
Qureshi’s bold demeanor was palpable as he conveyed, “I have no shame in saying anything. Even if the party chooses to remove me, it’s a matter of survival.” These statements were delivered during his address in Vidisha, the historical capital of Madhya Pradesh, setting a significant tone for what followed.
However, the initial controversial statement was just the beginning of Qureshi’s discourse. As he delved deeper into his address, his words grew more provocative, inviting further scrutiny. While delivering a speech on stage, Aziz Qureshi says, “We will tolerate up to a certain extent. You can burn our homes and markets, set their shops on fire, disgrace their mothers, orphan their children, wipe off the vermillion from the foreheads of our married women, break the bangles of our sisters’ hands. We will endure up to a limit, but when the water crosses the line, Muslims won’t be wearing bangles in their hands. Out of 220 million, even if one or two million from the 220 million are lost, it won’t matter.”
