Indian minister criticizes Muslim political rhetoric

Assam Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma has criticized political rhetoric centered on Islamic holy sites. In a video address, he stated that those who talk about the Kaaba and Medina should "permanently move" there. He contrasted this with acceptable political discourse on Hindu sites like Ayodhya or Sufi shrines like Ajmer Sharif, suggesting those who focus on the former have a "mental problem." The comments are part of a broader political debate in India about secularism and religious identity.
