On Thursday (11th July), a Trinamool Congress leader named Mohammed Yunus courted controversy after he accused Hindus of usurping top positions in the party and leaving dirty work for the Muslims.
The incident took place in Sainthia city in Birbhum district of West Bengal. In a video that has now gone viral on social media, Yunus was heard saying, “Where can the minorities (Muslims) do? Where can the minorities go?” “
“The majority (Hindus) have taken all top positions in the party. We need to poke them in the eyes and show them that we exist,” the TMC Minority Morcha leader brazened out.
TMC's Chopra MLA pushes for Sharia Law, Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim hints at conversions, and now Sainthia's TMC Minority Morcha Leader openly attacks majority community leaders.

“You guys are not able to win in your own booths. In such circumstances, what responsibility will you take to lead the party? They (Hindus) are at the helm of all core committees. We need to think about it,” Mohammed Yunus stated.
He lamented, “We (Muslims) will do all the (dirty) work, starting from making bombs…This is not right.” Amid the controversy, the Trinamool Congress is mulling supsending the Minority Morcha leader from the party.
While speaking about the matter, BJP leader Dhruba Saha remarked, “They are (finally) admitting that they make bombs, capture booths and murder democratic right of the people to ensure TMC’s victory.”
Firhad Hakim gives open call to convert people to Islam
Earlier, this month, the Mayor of Kolkata Firhad Hakim stirred the hornet’s nest for deriding non-Muslims as ‘unfortunate’ and openly calling for their religious conversion to Islam.
During his address at the All India Quran competition, Hakim claimed, “Those who were not born into Islam were born with misfortune. If we can give them Dawat (call for proselytism) and bring Iman (Faith) in them, then, we will make Allah happy.”
“We need to spread Islam among non-Muslims. If we can bring someone on the path of Islam, then, we will prove to be a true Muslims by ensuring the spread of Faith,” he brazened out.
Firhad Hakim further emphasised, “We showcase strength when thousands of people sit like this wearing skull caps. It shows unity and gives an assurance that none can subdue us.”
“Since we are born into Islam, Prophet and Allah made a clear path for us to Jannat. If we don’t commit any sins, we will directly go to Jaant,” the Kolkata Mayor was heard saying.
TMC MLA justifies Taliban-style public flogging of woman in ‘Muslim Rashtra’
On 30th June, TMC MLA Hamidul Rehman justified the Taliban-style flogging of a woman in full public glare in Chopra in Uttar Dinajpur district of West Bengal.
Rehman alleged, “The woman was doing unsocial work in the absence of her husband. A meeting was held by the villagers over her activities and a collective decision was made.”
Hamidul Rehman went on to claim that Chopra, where the incident took place, constituted ‘Muslim Rashtra’. He was heard saying, “In our Muslim rashtra, there are certain rules of conduct and punishment.”
“But it had become little extreme this time. That is why we are now reprimanding the villagers.” the TMC MLA concluded.
