BJP leader Jaunapuria sparks row after ‘refusing’ blankets to Muslim woman, ‘hatred is evident,’ says Sachin Pilot

A recent incident involving BJP leader Jaunapuria has ignited controversy after he allegedly refused to distribute blankets to a Muslim woman during a charity event in Rajasthan. The event, held on Sunday, aimed to provide warm clothing to those in need, but eyewitnesses reported that blankets were initially handed out to women before being reclaimed upon revealing their religious identities. This incident has drawn sharp criticism from opposition leaders, particularly Sachin Pilot, who condemned the actions as indicative of growing communal hostility. Pilot stated that such discrimination highlights the pervasive hatred within the current political climate, urging the need for unity and compassion in humanitarian efforts. The BJP has faced increasing scrutiny over its treatment of minority communities, with many accusing the party of fostering divisive politics. As discussions continue, the incident raises broader questions about inclusivity and the role of political leaders in community welfare initiatives.
