Manipur: BJP Minority Morcha President Askar Ali’S house arsoned
Digital Desk: Tensions flared in Manipur as the house of the BJP Minority Morcha President Askar Ali Makakmayum was arsoned by a Muslim mob at Lilong in Thoubal on Sunday night.
The arson occurred mere hours after Ali publicly endorsed the controversial Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2025.
Earlier, he was also intimidated and suspected to be threatened and asked to clarify the post and statement he made, and later, a video also appeared on social media of the BJP member asking for forgiveness.
One local leader, who looked like a cleric, also said some people are identified as Muslim but are different from our religion like Kohra, Agakhani, Shian, and such people are used by RSS to voice for them, and such people were used to voice support for the Bill, made them paste posters on byways etc.
While many Muslim communities have opposed the waqf bill, Askar Ali’s open endorsement sparked outrage among the Muslim community in Manipur.
