A debate on Hindi news channel News Nation took an ugly turn when Maulvi Sajid Rashidi, who was there to discuss the issue of triple talaq with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shazia Ilmi and other panellists, said that she is a not a good Muslim because she celebrates Holi with Hindus.

Ilmi took to Twitter on Saturday to express her opinion about the incident. “News Nation Anchor should have refrained Sajid Rashidi when he said Shazia is not a good Muslim because she celebrates Holi with Hindus,” she tweeted. In a series of tweets on Sunday, she said news channels should not provide a platform to ‘Talibani Mullahs’.
