Imran Masood on Hamas and Bhagat Singh: Congress MP Imran Masood recently gave a controversial statement during a podcast. Masood compared revolutionary Bhagat Singh with Gaza’s terrorist organization Hamas. However, now he is clarifying that his statement is being misrepresented. This statement of Imran Masood is being criticized from all sides. Bluecroft Digital Foundation CEO Akhilesh Mishra has shared a post with a clipping of Imran Masood’s statement in which he has told what is the real face of Congress.
Akhilesh Mishra wrote in his post, “If you are surprised by Priyanka Gandhi’s constant focus on the Israel-Hamas war, then now you must have known the real reason. The Congress party led by the Gandhi family is hostage to the Jihadis. What Mrs. Vadra says in worn-out English, Imran Masood says as it is, that Hamas terrorists are not terrorists, but freedom fighters. Just like Bhagat Singh. The official statement of Congress is that Bhagat Singh is like serial rapists and jihadis who commit mass murders.

What did Imran Masood say in clarification?
Clarifying on his statement, Congress MP Imran Masood said, “No one can be compared with anyone. Every fight has its own objectives. Bhagat Singh is the crown on our heads, he cannot be compared with anyone. Hamas is fighting for the millions of children, women and youth killed in Palestine.” Masood further said, the Indian government itself has supported Palestine in the United Nations. If Hamas is a terrorist organization, then why does the Indian government not include it in the list of terrorist organizations?
What is the controversial statement of Imran Masood?
When the Israel-Hamas war was discussed during the podcast, the anchor said that everyone is sad about the innocent people being killed in Palestine, but Hamas is a terrorist organization. Imran Masood got angry at this and said, what are you talking about? Was Bhagat Singh a terrorist? On this the anchor said- You are saying that there is a comparison between Bhagat Singh and Hamas. On this Masood said- Yes, of course it is. I am saying the right thing. Hamas is fighting for its land. Bhagat Singh was also fighting for his land. Masood further said that Israel is the occupier.

Masood further said- Hamas will be a terrorist organization for you, but I believe that they are fighting for their freedom. You are looking at the 232 Israeli hostages, but you are not looking at the 1 lakh people that Israel has killed.
BJP said- insult to freedom fighters
BJP has become an attacker on the controversial statement of Imran Masood. BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala said on ‘X’, Imran Masood of ‘Boti Boti’ is comparing Hamas with Bhagat Singh. This is an insult to all freedom fighters. The Left and Congress glorify terrorist groups to make the Gandhi family look great and belittle all our heroes. Earlier, Kanhaiya Kumar had compared Bhagat Singh ji with Lalu Yadav. This is not the first time! Congress has insulted Bhagat Singh ji before also! He did this with Chandrashekhar Azad, Savarkar ji, Patel ji, Birsa Munda ji.
