'Those who could not protect their Supreme Leader' - Music Som on Khamenei's death
'Those who could not protect their Supreme Leader' - Music Som comments on Khamenei's death during a Holi event.
In a recent Holi gathering in Meerut, former BJP MLA Music Som issued a strong statement regarding the Babri Masjid and international tensions, particularly in light of the recent death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. He criticized those who fail to protect their leaders while simultaneously claiming to build a mosque in India. Som emphasized that the country would not tolerate a second instance of the insurmountable 'stain' of Babri Masjid, underlining the need for a collective commitment to prevent its resurgence.
Som's remarks reflect a broader concern among certain political groups in India regarding Islamic historical figures and monuments. He drew a clear line regarding the construction of any mosque tied to historical conquerors, stating that no brick associated with Babur would be tolerated in India. This statement is especially noteworthy against the backdrop of the ongoing sensitivities surrounding religious structures and their historical context in the country.
The former MLA's comments are likely to resonate with his supporters and bolster the continued tensions regarding the Babri Masjid issue, which has significant implications for Indian politics and Hindu-Muslim relations. He called upon his followers to vow that they would take action against any attempt to establish a foundation in the name of Babri, underlying a commitment to protect what they perceive as their religious rights and sentiments in the heart of contemporary Indian society.
