Baba Siddiqui’s son and NCP leader Zeeshan Siddiqui also participated in TV9 Bharatvarsha’s ‘Satta Sammelan Maharashtra’ regarding Maharashtra Assembly elections. Along with leaving Congress, Zeeshan Siddiqui openly expressed his views on many important issues related to elections. On the question of leaving Congress, Zeeshan said that we stayed in the party for 15 years, but came out sad. Ajit Pawar faction’s NCP has fielded Zeeshan from Bandra East. Zeeshan is also an MLA from this seat.
Zeeshan Siddiqui further said that as far as Rahul Gandhi is concerned, he is a good leader. Mallikarjun Kharge ji is also a good leader. I have never said anything bad about him, but the people around Rahul Gandhi have taken up the task of showing him inferiority. Even today there is a large section in Congress which is anti-Muslim. We have never done politics of religion nor will we ever do so.
‘Yes, I was asked to lose weight to meet Rahul’
At the same time, regarding losing 10 kg weight to meet Rahul Gandhi, Zeeshan said that yes, I was told so. I was told that if you lose 10 kg weight then you will be made to meet Rahul Gandhi. We stayed in Congress for 15 years, but came out sadly. Talking about opening a shop of love and keeping love in the heart are two different things. The Nationalist Congress Party we are in now is not anti-Muslim.
On the question of what kind of leader UP CM Yogi Adityanath is, Zeeshan said that I do not know him much. On his statement of Batenge Nahi To Katenge, Zeeshan said that how can I say anything with four words. I believe that along with Hindus, Muslims should also remain united. Unity should be maintained not only with loved ones but also with others.
Giriraj Singh’s statement condemned
On the statement of senior BJP leader Giriraj Singh that if someone slaps a Hindu then everyone should slap the Muslim 100 times, Zeeshan Siddiqui said that this is a wrong statement, I condemn it. I have not heard this statement from him. When I ask for votes from people, I ask for my work. I never do politics of religion.
Zeeshan said- My family never received threats
Lawrence Bishnoi’s name coming up in Baba Siddiqui’s murder? On this Zeeshan said, yes. Did the family ever receive threats before the massacre? On this he said, we never received any threat before. To my knowledge, it has never come to light that we have received any threat from Lawrence Bishnoi or anyone else.
