Jharkhand minister Hafizul Hasan on Monday clarified his controversial comment on ‘first Shariat, then Constitution’. Minister Hasan said that it is a misinterpretation and out of context. Hasan clarified, ‘I did not say ‘I’, I said ‘we’. See the full statement. I am a minister; ‘we’ includes everyone. A minister believes in the Constitution and works accordingly.’ Minister Hasan defended himself by saying that like other religions, Shariat also has a place in the hearts of people, but it does not replace the Constitution.
Everyone is twisting it
He clarified, ‘Shariat also has its own place. People keep Hanuman ji in their hearts. This is one way of saying it. I also said something similar. Everyone is twisting it. When you look at what I said for the entire 5-6 minutes, you will know.’
