Manishankar aiyar book controversy: Senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Iyer is once again in the headlines for his new book. He said that this book reflects the ups and downs of his life. Iyer told that he had come into politics with the inspiration of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and in this journey he experienced both victory and defeat.
Giving his opinion on the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), Iyer said that he is against it. He argued that Muslim society needs to be explained to change, but when Hindu personal laws were changed, there were 90 percent Hindu members in Parliament. Now that there is talk of change in Muslim personal law, only 4 percent of Muslim members in Parliament. Describing it as a unbalanced situation, he said that it would be injustice to the Muslim community.
Iyer targeted Modi-Yogi
Iyer also surrounded Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on this issue. He said that it is the responsibility of these leaders to tell them what are the real reasons behind the incidents against Muslims and why the culprits are not being punished. He alleged that the government is trying to cover up these matters and the Congress will not sit silent on it. Apart from this, while giving his opinion on the Mahakumbh to be held in Prayagraj, Iyer said that he is an atheist and he does not have the faith that is necessary to go to a religious event like Kumbh.
Leaders occupy sports associations – Mani Shankar Iyer
Talking on his political journey, Iyer said that when he was in a post in Delhi, the Congress President had explained to him that there was dissatisfaction in the public due to the rising prices of petroleum products and he could soon be removed from the post. Despite this, he remained in this post for 20 months. Apart from this, he also commented on the status of sports associations of the country. Iyer said that sports associations are occupied by politicians, many of whom are not directly related to sports. He said that the heads of sports organizations are often the people who played decades ago, but now they are only enjoying their position.
