A video of radical Islamic cleric Mohammed Sajid Rashidi, making vile and derogatory remarks, about Hindus raping deities (Devi) has surfaced on social media.
“Islam has declared that there is Jannat (paradise) at the foot of the mother…You (Hindus) rape the one that you refer to as Devi,” he was heard saying.
The radical Maulana was immediately confronted by journalist Himanshu Dixit, who asked him to stay within the limits of civility.

Rashidi made the comments during a panel discussion on Times Now Navabharat on Thursday (10th October).
It has been 5 days since he made the derogatory remarks about Hindus.
No legal action has been taken so far against him despite the deliberate attempt to outrage the sentiments of the Hindu community
Controversies of Maulana Sajid Rashidi
This is not the first time Maulana Sajid Rashidi has stirred the hornet’s nest through his comments. Earlier in August, a video surfaced on social media wherein he objected to slogans of the “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” in schools.

Sajid Rashidi had also threatened India with another partition and violence if the Waqf Act was amended. In February 2023, he claimed that Mahmud Ghazni attacked Somnath Temple only to stop illegal activities.
Later, an FIR was lodged against him for his remarks that the Islamic tyrant Mahmud of Ghazni did not destroy Somnath Temple due to his hatred towards infidels (Kafirs) but to stop the alleged ‘wrongdoings’ that were taking place inside the temple.
Following the FIR, Maulana Rashidi issued a half-hearted apology to Somnath Trust saying it was not his intention to hurt anyone. He has also stated that his claims were based on Romila Thapar’s writings.
In November 2022, he threatened that India would on fire after the Uttarakhand government decided to modernise madrasas.
