Leader Geert Wilders, who is in the race to become PM in Netherlands, has once again supported former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma.
Wilders has praised Nupur and expressed his desire to meet her. Two years ago, when Nupur Sharma made controversial remarks on Prophet Mohammed, there was an uproar in the country and the world. At that time BJP had dismissed him from the post of spokesperson. At that time Wilders had supported Nupur Sharma. And had said that the action taken on Nupur was not right and he did not say anything wrong.
However, Wilders has once again come out in support of the former BJP spokesperson. He tweeted on social media today and said, “I am in support of Nupur Sharma and this message is for her. She is a brave girl and she has been threatened by fundamentalists.” A long time. Yes. Those in the world who support freedom of expression should support Nupur. When I come to India, I will definitely meet him.
Wilders himself has caused controversy in the past due to his anti-Islam statements. In the recent elections in the Netherlands, he campaigned against Muslims and promised to ban hijab and close mosques during the campaign. His party won 37 seats in the elections.
A majority requires 76 seats in Parliament. Wilders is currently trying to get support from other parties to form a government. However, the VVD party has so far been reluctant to support Wilders, hindering his efforts to become prime minister. The political picture in the Netherlands is likely to become clearer in the coming days.
