Ashok Singhal X-post – New Delhi: Assam Minister Ashok Singhal’s X-post on “cabbage farming” has sparked controversy. After the NDA’s massive victory in the Bihar Assembly elections, Assam’s Health and Family Welfare Minister shared a photo of a cauliflower field and captioned it, “Bihar approves cauliflower cultivation.

” The Congress MO sparked debate on social media over whether it referred to the infamous ‘cauliflower burial case’ that took place during the 1989 Bhagalpur riots. Social media users have expressed surprise and disbelief after the minister referenced a brutal massacre in a casual post, leading to insensitivity and nasty criticism. Decision.

A user @isaifpatel quoted the post and called on Shashi Tharoor to “call on influential Hindu leaders to condemn this normalization of one of the worst massacres against Bihari Muslims. ” In response, Shashi Tharoor said that it is not his job to get the joint statement.

Condemning the post, he further wrote, “But as an ardent supporter of an inclusive India and a proud Hindu, I can speak for myself, and for most Hindus I know, that neither our faith nor our nationalism requires, nor justifies or applauds, such massacres. ” During the 1989 riots in Bhagalpur, Bihar, also known as the Logain massacre, more than 100 Muslims were reported killed.

After the bodies of the victims were buried, cauliflower plants were planted around the graves to hide the evidence. The timing also becomes significant because it occurred just weeks before the general elections in which the Congress government was defeated in most parts of North India.
