New Delhi, Dec. 1 -- BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain on Monday strongly criticised Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind president Maulana Mahmood Madani over his recent remarks in Bhopal, asserting that Indian Muslims enjoy unmatched rights and freedoms and warning against what he described as attempts to provoke the community.

Reacting to Madani's comments about "jihad against oppression", Hussain condemned the statement, calling it misleading and dangerous.

"I condemn the language used by Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind leader Maulana Mahmood Madani in Bhopal. He said, 'Whenever there is oppression, there will be jihad.' What is he explaining by saying that jihad will occur whenever there is oppression? Where in India is oppression occurring?" Hussain said.
