Dr. ST Hasan, a former Samajwadi Party MP, has strongly condemned spiritual guru Rambhadracharya’s characterization of Western Uttar Pradesh as a ‘mini Pakistan.’ Hasan stated that the remark, made during a recent event in Meerut, is an insult to the Muslim community and the broader population of Western UP. He emphasized the peaceful coexistence of Hindus and Muslims in the area and warned that such statements could incite social discord. Hasan questioned the logic behind labeling a region with a Muslim population as ‘mini Pakistan,’ arguing that it’s an inappropriate and offensive comparison. He criticized Rambhadracharya for using the ‘Hindus are in danger’ narrative to instill fear among Hindus. He pointed out that with the government, police, army, and key institutions in the hands of Hindus, along with a Hindu President and Prime Minister, the claim of danger seems unfounded. He stated that Muslims do not feel threatened because their faith lies in Allah.
