After his derogatory remarks on Hindu gods and beliefs, the son of Ajmer Sharif Dargah Khadim Sayed Sarwar Chishti’s son, Syed Aadil Chishti, has issued an apology stating that he didn’t intend to hurt anyone’s religious belief or sentiments.
In a video, Syed Aadil Chishti is seen apologising for his remarks and saying he was just conveying his opinion on suspended BJP leader Noopur Sharma’s comments. “My intention was not to target the Hindu religion or insult it, I was just answering Nupur Sharma’s questions,” he said referring to remarks made by suspended BJP Spokesperson Nupur Shamra whose comments on the Prophet had triggered an outrage.
“It is clearly written in the Quran that does not talk ill about people of other religions,” Chishti added in the video.
Syed Aadil Chishti also condemned the killing of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal and sought strict punishment for the perpetrators of the incident.
“There are some things in every religion that do not seem logical, however, we believe in them from a religious point of view. If my remarks hurt anybody’s feelings, I apologise for it,” he said. Meanwhile, Vishva Hindu Parishad on Wednesday condemned the incident and demanded the Rajasthan government arrest him immediately.
