Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has said nobody has any right to disturb communal harmony in the country. He was reacting to a complaint by Javed Ali Khan of the Samajwadi Party, who said that a particular private TV channel has been telecasting adverse news about Muslims in Sambhal district of Uttar Pradesh for the past few days.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour in the Rajya Sabha, Mr Khan said the channel head also threatened to visit the Mosque in Sambhal soon, saying that it was a Hindu temple. Opposition parties have protested against the incident.
