Maulana Tauqeer Raza made a controversial remark as he said in the name of Ghar Wapsi, Muslim girls have been lured by Hindu organisations.

Maulana Tauqeer Raza, the national president of Ittehad-e-Millat Council, said those who speak of Hindu Rashtra should be charged with sedition law. "What if tomorrow our youth start demanding Muslim rashtra?" Maulana Tauqeer Raza said. Interacting with the media in Moradabad and Rampur, he also questioned why only Muslims are being targetted by the bulldozers in Uttar Pradesh, LiveHindustan reported.

Maulana Tauqeer Raza attacked PM Modi and UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath as he addressed the media.

In his speech, he also called Prime Minister Narendra Modi 'Dhritarashtra' as he condemned the recent demands for Khalistan, raised by self-proclaimed Sikh preacher Amritpal Singh. He said in the name of Ghar Wapsi, Muslim girls have been lured by Hindu organisations. Citing a survey, he said 10 lakh Muslim girls have been forcefully converted to Hinduism.

"Where did those bombs go which used to explode before 2014? If Muslims were then terrorists, then where are those bombs now? Now they should use bombs as they are most tormented now. But Muslims were never terrorists -- not then, not today. In reality, those who are sitting in the government used to do all these to terrify the Hindus against the Muslims. Yogi Adityanath says there has been no riot in his government. True, but the actual reason is you only perpetrated all these," Maulana Tauqeer Raza said.

This is not the first time that Maulana made a controversial remark. In February, he reportedly reacted to the Bhiwani deaths and said if the country is going to be ruled by the stick, then Muslims too have sticks which are not weak either.
