Imtiaz Jaleel rallied behind the contentious remarks of Islamic preacher Salman Azhari in Maharashtra’s Akola. The air crackled with tension as Jaleel defended Azhari’s incendiary words!

Imtiaz Jaleel’s Foul Wordplay


The saga began on the 19th of February, when Jaleel took to the stage in Akola, his voice cutting through the crowd like a sharp blade. With conviction that bordered on defiance, he proclaimed Azhari’s controversial statement –

Unhone kaha ke aaj kutton ka waqt hai kal hamara daur ayega. Toh Maulana Sahab ko lekar chale gaye. tum kyun samajh rah eke tum kutte ho? Humne kaunsa tumhara naam leke kaha…lekin raat mein jitney bhi gaye ghar ke upar sab bhaunkna shuru kar diye


The Gujarat Police arrested Azhari on the 4th of February. Azhari’s inflammatory rhetoric, delivered in Junagadh on the 31st of January. It was was akin to pouring gasoline on a smoldering fire. His words, dripping with animosity, painted a grim picture of communal discord, leaving little room for reconciliation.

As the video of Azhari’s diatribe circulated, the nation recoiled in horror at the venomous tirade. Yet, amidst the uproar, Jaleel stood firm in his defense, praising Azhari’s poetic prowess. He dismissed the outrage as baseless barking.

The irony of his words seemed lost on him as he attempted to whitewash the toxicity of Azhari’s rhetoric.

Imtiaz Jaleel and Owaisi


But the controversy didn’t end there. Jaleel’s commendation of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi’s stance on the Babri Masjid issue added another layer of complexity to the unfolding drama. At a time when the wounds of the past are still raw, Jaleel’s words felt like salt rubbed into an open wound. His defiance, though hailed by some, only served to deepen the chasm of distrust and resentment.

In the midst of political posturing and religious rhetoric, it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture – a nation grappling with communal polarization by the specific minority community!

As the dust settles on the tumultuous rally in Akola, one thing remains abundantly clear – the need for the law to take course and the Hindus to wake up!
