In a shocking display of contempt, Maulana Mohd. Sajid Rashidi, Chairman of the All India Imam Association, triggered a wave of outrage after he made sexually suggestive and blasphemous remarks about Hindu goddesses during a live debate on national TV news channel. His incendiary statement, “Aap Jis Aurat Ko Devi Batate ho, Usike sath Rape Karte Ho” (The woman you call a goddess, is the one you rape”), deeply wounded the sentiments of millions of Hindus.

The live broadcast took a dark turn when Rashidi, without hesitation, launched his offensive statement, directly targeting the sacred figures of Hinduism in a vile, disrespectful tone. Viewers were left appalled as the Maulana crossed the boundaries of decency on national television, dragging revered goddesses into his distasteful commentary.

"Islam ne aurat ko jeena sikhaya, Islam ne maa k kadmo me jannat batai....Aap Jis Aurat Ko Devi Batate ho, Usike sath Rape Karte Ho", Rashidi said when he was countered by the news anchor and other panelists present for the debate, leading to chaos and full blown drama on live TV.

A user wrote, "A case should be filed on him for this shameless statement."

Another user commented, "Enough is enough, put this guy behind bars. Disgusting behavior."
