Backing his 'Namak Haram' statement targeting Muslims, Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Sunday hit out at the opposition, stating that the government has not discriminated between Hindus and Muslims in its various welfare schemes.

Speaking in Begusarai, Singh said, "Some people say that consuming 'Haram' is wrong in their religion. Islam says that consuming free food is 'Haram'. Are they not taking a 5 kg ration? Did both Hindus and Muslims not get Pradhanmantri Awas? Did both Hindus and Muslims not get toilets? Was there any discrimination between Hindus and Muslims in the Nal-Jal scheme, gas cylinder, or 5 kg ration?"
