Sharia over Constitution: BJP stir against minister
The New Indian Express Dharmapuri
|April 18, 2025
JHARKHAND Minority Welfare Minister Hafizul Hasan caused a stir when he said while talking to a news channel on Monday, "For me, Sharia is more important. We (Muslims) keep the Quran in our chest and the Constitution in our hands. Okay! So, we will first hold the Sharia and then the Constitution."
As the controversy over Hasan's 'Sharia over Constitution' remark rages on, BJP leaders and workers on Thursday carried out an 'Akrosh Pradarshan' march from Zila School to Rajbhawan in Ranchi to call for his dismissal. Later, a delegation led by Leader of Opposition Babulal Marandi handed over a memorandum to the Governor reiterating their demand for Hasan's ouster.
