Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam strongly criticised the All India Muslim Personal Law Board’s (AIMPLB) threat regarding the Waqf (Amendment) Bill. He warned that such inflammatory rhetoric could also escalate into a ‘Jallianwala Bagh’ type situation. Nir upam also defended the ‘Three-Language Formula’ in India, originally introduced by former Prime Minister of India Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. He criticised Tamil Nadu politicians, particularly those from the DMK, for turning this policy into a political issue. He also spoke out against Aligarh Muslim University’s decision to stop students from celebrating Holi on campus, a move that has sparked outrage. He said that if Holi isn’t celebrated, where will it be celebrated? In Pakistan? We’ve been celebrated Holi here for centuries, and no one should be stopped from enjoying their festivals,\” he said. He added that if there were objections, they should be addressed in court, and the Board must not afford to challenge the decision, politically.
