BJP MLA T. Raja Singh slams Congress govt in Telangana for sanctioning Rs 2.4 crore for Tablighi Jamat congregation

Just a week after coming to power in Telangana, the Congress government in the state has approved the allocation of Rs 2,45,93,847 crore to host an Islamic congregation in Nematnagar village of Pargi Mandal in Vikarabad district from 6th to 8th January 2024. The Tabliqhi Jamat-organised Subaee Deeni Ijtema is expected to draw between three and five lakh Muslims from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh.

BJP MLA T. Raja Singh has criticised the Congress government for allocating a ‘staggering’ Rs 2.45 crore for a Tablighi Jamaat meeting.

He wondered why Congress was embracing an organisation banned in several countries, including Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Saudi Arabia? “Tablighi Jamaat’s controversial teachings have led to prohibition in these nations, Congress government’s red-carpet welcome and consistent support for such extremist ideologies raise questions about the party’s priorities and motives,” he said.

BJP General Secretary Bandi Sanjay Kumar termed ‘pure evil’ and ‘outrageous’ the sanctioning of funds by the Congress government for Tablighi Jamaat meeting. He demanded that the government immediately withdraw permission for the meeting.

“Does the newly elected government of Revanth Reddy know this? What are intelligence agencies doing? What do you want to do to Telangana with Tukde Tukde gang?,” asked Sanjay Kumar.

The minorities welfare department recently issued an order sanctioning the money for certain works in connection with statewide ‘ijtema (Islamic congregation)’ to be organised by Tablighi Jamaat.

The ijtema is scheduled to be held for three days from January 6 at Neamath Nagar in Pargi mandal of Vikarabad district.

The amount was sanctioned for undertaking certain works for civic amenities leading to the ijtema.

The money was sanctioned for providing water and construction of sump, laying of pipeline, parking area, erecting transformers for uninterrupted power supply.

The Chief Executive Officer of Telangana State Wakf Board was directed to release funds to Vikarabad district collector for execution of works immediately.
