When the issue of #GurugramNamazRow was going, @yasirerkus from Turkey contacted me for an interview.

Since he didn’t publish my views, I’m putting out the questions and answers myself.
(EVERY SINGLE WORD)

Note: Sharing this chat with his approval (refer third picture)

1/9

I responded to all his questions and even requested to share the article with me and tag me on Twitter while putting it here.

But then, @yasirerkus had more questions.

2/9

Since a foreign journalist @yasirerkus was asking about my country and also questioning about my #Hindu identity, I felt it important to respond.

(I’ve written his questions first and then responded)

3/9

Now @yasirerkus asked me specifically about #Gurugram.

So I gave him the real picture.

4/9

After this, @yasirerkus shifted the goal post and equated #Namaz with #Holi and #Diwali. So I cleared the air.

Then he bluntly asked me if I am angry with public prayers.

5/9

Then unexpectedly, @yasirerkus gave his verdict that 🇮🇳 is treating Muslîms unfairly.

Had to rebut him with facts.

He then asked me if I wish to be quoted for my opinions.

I said yes.

6/9

I was shocked when @yasirerkus actually started justifying terrorîsm. Like seriously dude?!

Have responded to him on that which was very much required.

7/9

But @yasirerkus continued with his justification.

And I ended the interview with Namaste 🙏

8/9

Today after 2 months, I asked @yasirerkus if he published the article

He told me that he did publish the article but didn’t put my views

For a Hindu majority 🇮🇳,
he quoted @ziyaussalam who he referred as
“Muslim Indian Journalist” but didn’t quote a “Hindu Nationalist”

Lol
