Congress MP Imran Masood stirred a political row after he compared freedom fighter Bhagat Singh to the Palestinian militant group Hamas, accusing him of eulogising terror groups and insulting India\u2019s freedom fighters.<\/p>\n

While speaking at a podcast, Masood was seen becoming agitated when he was told that Hamas was a terrorist organisation during a discussion on the October 7 attacks on Israel in 2023, asking, \u201cWas Bhagat Singh a terrorist as well?”<\/p>\n

When he was asked if there was a comparison between Bhagat Singh and Hamas, Masood replied in the affirmative and said, \u201cThey are fighting for their land. Bhagat Singh was also fighting for his land.”<\/p>\n

\u201cBhagat Singh made the supreme sacrifice for his land. Israel is the occupier,” he added. \u201cFor you, Hamas is a terrorist organisation. I believe Hamas is fighting for its freedom. You are looking at their 250 hostages they (Hamas) had taken, but you are not looking at 1 lakh people Israel has killed.”<\/p>\n

Taking to X, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said, \u201cBoti Boti Imran Masood compares Hamas to Bhagat Singh ji. This is an insult to all freedom fighters.”<\/p>\n

\u201cLeft & Congress eulogise terror groups and undermine all our heroes to make Gandhis look great. Earlier, Kanhaiya Kumar compared Bhagat Singh ji to Lalu Yadav! This isn\u2019t the first time! Congress had earlier too insulted Bhagat Singh ji! They did this with Chandrashekhar Azad ji, Savarkar ji, Patel ji, Birsa Munda ji,” he added.<\/p>\n

Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, marking the deadliest day in Israel\u2019s history and triggering a devastating war in Gaza. Several Hamas militants breached the Israeli border and killed more than 1,200 people, taking 250 people hostage.<\/p>\n

In response, Israel launched a massive military response against Hamas in Gaza, killing more than 67,000 Palestinians and triggering a widespread humanitarian crisis that deeply affected international politics. Tens of thousands of Palestinians were displaced and global agencies warned of a famine in the Palestinian enclave due to Israel\u2019s aid blockade.<\/p>\n
