New Delhi: A week after four Christian women including two nuns were harassed in Uttar Pradesh’s Jhansi, the National Commission for Minorities said the incident “reeks of politics”.
“The incident occurred in Uttar Pradesh but is resonating in Kerala because elections are underway there,” NCM Vice-Chairman Atif Rasheed told ThePrint.
Rasheed was referring to the political outcry that followed the incident with the nuns, who hailed from Kerala. Pinarayi Vijayan, the state’s chief minister, also wrote to Home Minister Amit Shah asking him to take action against the accused.
The minorities commission member further noted that while the episode appeared political in nature, he has directed authorities to file a report.
