Patna, November 30 (IANS). Bihar JDU spokesperson Neeraj Kumar has reacted to the controversial statement of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind chief Maulana Mahmood Madani on ‘Jihad’. He said that when there is a judiciary in the country, then who can raise an eye? Everyone who lifts his eyes, all these will be healed. Speaking to IANS on Sunday, JDU spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said, “The word Jihad may be in his (Mahmood Madani’s) dictionary, but every religious group in this country has a sense of respect for the Constitution. There is an executive, a legislature and a judiciary in the country, whoever will commit a crime because it is a system to oppress the other in the place.” Neeraj Kumar further said, “They should know why Mahmood Madani said this, but there is a judiciary in the country for every crime. If there is a judiciary in the country, then who can raise an eye.” JDU spokesperson also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme. He said, “Today is the 128th episode of the show ‘Mann Ki Baat’. The show covers fundamental issues within the country, stories of successes, training the new generation and communicating with them, communicating about the problems of the common people and their solutions, this is the special work style of Prime Minister Modi.” Appealing to the public, he said that people should consider the words of Prime Minister Modi during the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ program and play their role in shaping the future of the country. At the all-party meeting before the start of the winter session of Parliament, Neeraj Kumar said that this is part of the parliamentary tradition. Importantly, why is the opposition persisting in ‘hit and run’ position? Responding to the opposition on the issue of SIR, Neeraj Kumar said that when SIR was done in his time, he did not find it unconstitutional. Today, when the public has given mandate on an issue like SIR, the opposition has not assimilated the mandate of the public. He said, “The back of politics has been broken due to losing and losing, but the pain of it has not disappeared. It is a matter of misfortune. However, the opposition is expected to take a positive attitude.” On the Election Commission’s decision to increase the salary of CAAs, JDU spokesperson said: “The Election Commission is a constitutional body and such decisions are within its jurisdiction. CAAs play an important role in the entire election process, right from the electoral roll. The truth is that those who are criticizing do not even have agents at booth level at the polling stations.” –IANS DCH/
