Outgoing Vice President of India, Hamid Ansari, has said there is a feeling of unease and a sense of insecurity among Muslims in the country and the atmosphere of acceptance is under threat. The interview emerged on a day dedicated to farewell speeches in his honour in the Rajya Sabha, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi said: "We have learnt a lot from you." But outside parliament, a leader of the ruling BJP reacted sharply to Mr Ansari's comments, describing them as a "political statement" made by someone angling for a political job after retirement. "He couldn't talk like this before but now he is outgoing, in search of a political role he is making such statements that are inappropriate for a person at such a position," Kailash Vijayavargiya told NDTV. "We disagree with him," added the BJP national general secretary. He said it was apparent from the comments that Mr Ansari wants to join politics. "It is unbecoming for such high stature to make such sweeping comments." लेटेस्ट न्यूज व्हिडीओज् पाहाण्यासाठी...सबस्क्राईब करा आमचा यूट्युब चॅनेल...http://bit.ly/jmnsubscribe Subscribe to our channel for Latest news and updates in marathi, marathi news, maharashtra news, breaking news, headlines, Latest news, video, marathi newspaper, marathi movie, sports news, international news, world news, crickets, entertainment news, bollywood, National news, Agriculture, business, Politics news, health, science, business, exclusive news, Live TV, photogallery, blog, poll, opinion, मराठी न्यूज, जय महाराष्ट्र न्यूज, महाराष्ट्र न्यूज.
