BJP policing Muslims’ vocabulary: Mehbooba Mufti
Srinagar: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti has said that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is insecure and it is now policing the vocabulary of the Muslim community in India.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Mehbooba Mufti in a post on X, referring to the case of IPS officer Bushra Bano, who was transferred from her post of ASP in West Bengal’s Kharagpur within just two-and-a-half months of taking charge, allegedly over her use of Muslim greetings in a video, said such incidents do not shock the minority community anymore.
“Bushra Bano’s transfer for saying ‘Assalamu Alaikum’, ‘InshaAllah’ and ‘JazakAllah’, followed by the West Bengal Chief Minister (Suvendu Adhikari) calling an election a ‘test’ of Muslim loyalty, a veiled threat to the community as a whole, doesn’t shock us anymore,” she said.

It is amusing that simple words invoking peace and blessings of God have rattled the big political party, she said.
“What is rather amusing is that three simple words – ‘peace be upon you’, ‘God willing’, and ‘God be praised’ – can apparently rattle a party so large and powerful.
“First our food, clothes and marriage, now even our vocabulary and our votes are being policed. Insecurity, thy name is BJP,” Mehbooba said.
