Amit Shah rebukes minister Giriraj Singh for 'Iftar party' dig

BJP President and Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday reprimanded Union Minister Giriraj Singh for taking a dig at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his own party member Sushil Modi over an Iftar party. Giriraj reportedly posted a provocative tweet earlier this morning targeting Modi and BJP allies Kumar and Ram Vilas Paswan among others for attending an Iftar party. Here's more.

It should not happen again: Shah tells Giriraj

Shah reportedly called up Singh and asked him to avoid making any such controversial statements. The BJP chief even told him that the same should never happen again. Singh, who has courted controversy with his comments even in the past, is currently the Union Minister for Animal Husbandry, Dairy, and Fisheries in the new cabinet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Twitter Post
Here's what Giriraj posted on Twitter about the 'Iftar' party

कितनी खूबसूरत तस्वीर होती जब इतनी ही चाहत से नवरात्रि पे फलाहार का आयोजन करते और सुंदर सुदंर फ़ोटो आते??...अपने कर्म धर्म मे हम पिछड़ क्यों जाते और दिखावा में आगे रहते है??? pic.twitter.com/dy7s1UgBgy

Tweet
What did Giriraj say about leaders who attended 'Iftar' party?

In a tweet, Giriraj had taken a swipe at CM Kumar, Modi, Paswan and other leaders who were seen at an "Iftar" party. The Union minister posted a tweet in Hindi, saying, "How beautiful would this picture have been if a Navratri meal would have been organized with the same eagerness. Why do we hold back on our own faith and get into pretense."

CM Kumar's response
Giriraj Singh makes such remarks deliberately: CM Kumar

Meanwhile, responding to Giriraj's remarks, CM Kumar said, "Giriraj Singh makes such remarks deliberately so that you (media) make news out of it." The Bihar CM was talking to reporters over the matter. Giriraj's comments came even as Kumar was already upset over his party Janata Dal (United) being denied more than one cabinet seat in PM Modi's government.

Modi's response
Take part in Holi programs too, not just Iftar: Modi

Giriraj's BJP colleague and Bihar Deputy CM, Modi, also responded sharply, saying, "I don't know what he tweeted. Let me say, I am proud to be a Hindu. I take part in Holi programs too, not just Iftar." "I have been a part of Iftar celebrations for 25 years. People who never hosted a Holi Milan party are raising questions today," he said.
