Aga Ruhullah Claims Muslim MP Asked Yusuf Pathan to Withdraw from SIR Protest; Mahua Moitra Names Owaisi
According to Ruhullah, an incident involving MP Yusuf unfolded after another lawmaker allegedly confronted him over his protest against the BJP. Ruhullah said Yusuf later withdrew from the exchange and returned to his seat. He described Yusuf’s immediate reaction as visibly shaken, saying he noticed a clear change in his expression and that Yusuf appeared to be almost shivering after the encounter.
Ruhullah said he approached Yusuf shortly afterward to ask what had happened and why he looked frightened. Yusuf allegedly told him that the person had warned him against protesting the BJP and questioned why he was “making the party an enemy.” The warning, as quoted by Ruhullah, reportedly included a threat that Yusuf’s house in Gujarat would be bulldozed if he continued opposing the BJP.
Ruhullah further said that during this period, TMC leader Mahua Moitra came over and asked what had taken place. After hearing the explanation, he told her that Yusuf had been alarmed because of the warning about his home in Gujarat. According to Ruhullah, Moitra reacted strongly and urged Yusuf not to take the threat seriously. He said she reassured Yusuf that the group stood with him and that neither he nor his family would be touched.
The account highlights the tense atmosphere surrounding the protest and the alleged exchange between the lawmakers. It also reflects the broader political friction in which threats, intimidation, and accusations of pressure often become part of confrontations in parliamentary settings. Ruhullah’s description portrays Yusuf as unsettled by the encounter and suggests that the warning was serious enough to visibly affect him in the moment.
Moitra’s response, as recounted by Ruhullah, was meant to offer solidarity and calm Yusuf after the alleged threat. Her message emphasized unity and protection, reinforcing that he was not alone. The episode, as described, centers on the emotional impact of political confrontation and the role of fellow leaders in responding to intimidation claims.
The incident has drawn attention because it combines allegations of verbal intimidation, references to potential action in Gujarat, and a show of support from a senior political figure. Ruhullah’s remarks frame the episode as one in which an MP was left visibly frightened after being told not to oppose the BJP, while another leader stepped in to reassure him.
