Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Sports Minister Vishwas Sarang has also written a letter to cricketer Mohammad Shami on Monday. In which he said that he does not need to be afraid of anyone.
Sarang has strongly objected to the statement of Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi regarding Indian cricketer Mohammad Shami’s daughter playing Holi. Sarang said that the statement of Maulana is objectionable. Sarang has written a letter to cricketer Shami and said that he and her daughter needn’t fear anyone.
Maulana Razvi of Bareilly (Uttar Pradesh) had objected to Shami’s daughter playing Holi two days ago. When the video of Mohammed Shami’s daughter playing Holi surfaced, Razvi had said that Mohammed Shami’s daughter playing Holi is against Sharia and illegal. Sports Minister Sarang has retaliated on this on Monday. He said, the politics of fundamentalism and threats will no longer work in the country.
What should be the objection to a daughter playing Holi? Minister Sarang said that Maulana Shahabuddin Rizvi’s statement is condemnable. If Mohammed Shami’s daughter plays Holi, what problem do fundamentalists have with it? This country belongs to people of every religion and community and no one’s religious freedom can be stopped here.
Sarang said the government will give Shami and his daughter full protection. I have written a letter to Mohammed Shami saying that there is no need to be afraid of any fundamentalist threat. This country belongs to everyone, and everyone has the right to live with their culture.
Warning to fundamentalists Sarang said, Maulana Shahabuddin Rizvi has earlier also threatened Mohammad Shami for drinking water while playing cricket during Roza. How far will this fundamentalism go? The glory of the motherland is also mentioned in the Quran and the Vedas. No person can stop anyone’s freedom.
