New Delhi, April 20: BJP Lok Sabha member Nishikant Dubey has launched a scathing attack on the former Chief Election Commissioner of India, S.Y. Quraishi, saying that "he was not an election commissioner, but a Muslim commissioner". Dubey cited the case of Jharkhand's Santhalpargana, where the maximum number of Bangladeshi infiltrators were made voters during his tenure. Dubey is the fourth-term Member of Parliament from Godda Lok Sabha Constituency in Jharkhand.
He said this on Sunday in response to a post by Quraishi on X. Quraishi wrote on his X handle on April 17 that the Waqf Act is an evil plan of the government, which will be duly treated by the Supreme Court. "Wakf Act is undoubtedly a blatantly sinister / evil plan of the govt to grab Muslim lands. I슬롯사이트m sure SC will call it out. Misinformation by the mischievous propaganda machine has done its job well," he said.

"Prophet Muhammad's Islam came to India in 712, before that this land belonged to Hindus or tribals, Jains or Buddhists associated with that faith. My village Vikramshila was burnt by Bakhtiar Khilji in 1189. Vikramshila University gave the world its first vice chancellor in the form of Atish Dipankar," Dubey wrote on his X handle. Dubey pointed fingers at the former CEC, alleging that there was wrongdoing during Quraishi's tenure.
The BJP MP wrote on X, "You were not an election commissioner, you were a Muslim commissioner. The maximum number of Bangladeshi infiltrators were made voters in Jharkhand's Santhalpargana during your tenure." Dubey called upon the people to get united and not let divisions rule. He said Pakistan was created by dividing India, and there will not be another partition.
