Such issues are being given air to avoid vote theft, SIR: Priyanka Chaturvedi

What did Priyanka Chaturvedi say on Madani’s ‘Jihad’ statement?
Referring to the terrorist incidents, Priyanka Chaturvedi said that the recent terrorist attacks in Pahalgam and Delhi make it clear that Jaish-e-Mohammed was carrying a bigger agenda of spreading unrest in India. He warned that language like ‘Jihad’ is being used by Pakistan to confuse and instigate the youth, which can strengthen terrorist organizations. He asked the Home Ministry what action it is taking on this serious issue.
What did Maulana Mahmood Madani say?
Maulana Mahmood Madani said in the program of Jamiat-Ulama-Hind that Muslims are hurt a lot by using words like Love Jihad, Land Jihad, Education Jihad and Spit Jihad. They have no shame nor do they care about hurting the entire community. During this, while making controversial remarks, Maulana Mahmood Madani said that whenever there is oppression, there will be jihad.
Raising questions on the Supreme Court, Madani said, ‘It is impossible to create law and order and crime-free society in any country without justice. Sadly, in the last few years, especially after the decisions in cases like Babri Masjid and Triple Talaq, it has become a common perception that the courts are working under government pressure. The Supreme Court deserves to be called Supreme only as long as it follows the rules and takes care of the duties of the law. If he does not do this then he is morally not entitled to be called supreme.
