Hyderabad: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Goshamahal Assembly constituency Raja Singh slammed the Telangana government after it sanctioned funds for the Tablighi Jamaat congregation.
Earlier, the Telangana government approved a budget of Rs 2,45,93,847 for the upcoming three-day congregation of Tablighi Jamaat.
In a recent order (GO-RT-123) issued by the secretary of minority welfare, Syed Umar Jaleel, the authorities sanctioned funds across various departments to ensure the smooth conduct of the event.
Raja Singh levels allegations
Raja Singh questioned, “Why is Congress embracing an organization banned in several countries, including Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Saudi Arabia?”
Leveling allegations, he said, “Tablighi Jamaat’s controversial teachings have led to prohibition in these nations.”
Targeting Congress, he added, “The Congress government’s red carpet welcome and consistent support for such extremist ideologies raise questions about the party’s priorities and motives.”
