BJP MP Dilip Ghosh backed suspended party spokesperson Nupur Sharma and blamed ‘ideology’ behind the incidents of violence. Nupur Sharma has been under fire for her controversial remarks against Prophet Muhammad.
Speaking at India Today Conclave East 2022, Dilip Ghosh said, “Before Independence, there were riots and hundreds were killed. The world is afraid to speak against the ideology that is behind these violence.”
He said, “If you think what Nupur Sharma said is wrong, come and argue, give your logic in public, on TV.”
