The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued a notice to the Maharashtra government on the proposed society only for Muslims in Karjat area of Mumbai, the capital of Maharashtra. Human Rights Commission member Priyank Kanungo has issued Suo Moto notice to the Chief Secretary of Devendra government of Maharashtra. Some local organizations had objected to this proposed society.
This society project shows the principle of the nation within the nation- Priyanka
Talking to news agency ANI, Priyanka Kanungo said, ‘The complaint of making settlements for Muslims only in Karjat area of Maharashtra was received by Sahyadri Rights Forum NGO. In India, if Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is being made separate settlements for Muslims by showing fear of Muslims not living with Hindus in Maharashtra, then it clearly shows the principle of ‘nation within the nation’. We will not let this happen.
Priyank Kanungo issued notice to the Chief Secretary of Maharashtra
NHRC member Priyank Kanungo further said that we have issued a notice to the Chief Secretary of Maharashtra and this matter will not stop here. He said, ‘Today you are claiming that you want a house where only Muslims are. Then you will say that schools want such that Muslims study. Then doctors, bus driver, auto driver, will ask for separate trains for Muslims. One day again you will demand a separate state for Muslims in Maharashtra. We have asked the Chief Secretary to report us on how permission to create such a society.

Questions arising in political corridors after Priyanka Kanungo’s statement
After this statement of Priyank Kanungo, the political corridors are questioning whether the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and BJP (BJP) are not unanimous about Muslims? In fact, on the completion of 100 years of the Sangh in the past, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat had said, ‘Ever since Islam came to India, there is Islam and will remain here. Islam will not remain, it is not a Hindu thinking that thinks.
Priyank Kanungo, a BJP leader and member of the National Human Rights Commission, has been making consistent statements against Muslims for a long time. The most recent example of this is the issuance of notice to the NDA government of Maharashtra for the RERA approved society being created for the Muslim community. In the Supreme Court, sending a notice to the Maharashtra government against the petition against madrasas or the settlement being made for Muslims, Kanungo has caught the path of RSS and PM Narendra Modi.
