On the issue, BJP’s Shahnawaz Hussain also said “For Indian Muslims, there can be no better country than India and no better friend than Hindus. Why is Naseeruddin Shah is frightened in India”. He further added “Muslims are not even safe in Muslims countries of Arabs. What type of signal he is trying to send by making such statements. Naseeruddin is breaking the heart of the people of this country by making such statements.” In a short YouTube video shared by Karwan-e-Mohabbat India, Shah said “The poison has already spread. It will be very difficult to capture this djinn back into the bottle again. There is complete impunity for those who take law into their hands. In many areas we are witnessing that the death of a cow has more significance than that of a police officer.” Referring to the recent violence in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr, Shah has said at many places the "death of a cow is being given more importance than the killing of a policeman".
