Telangana govt's Ramzan work concession for Muslims draws BJP backlash

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 18 February 2025 ()

The BJP has criticised this move, calling it an appeasement tactic for the Muslim community. BJP leaders argue the government does not offer similar concessions for Hindu or Jain festivals.
