"(There is) no better country than India for Muslims and no better friend than Hindus," said BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain Hussain was reacting to comments Ansari made during an interview with Rajya Sabha TV. Ansari was asked if the recent spate of lynching and violence by cow vigilantes was making the country's Muslim community apprehensive. I heard the same thing in Bengaluru, I have heard from other parts of the country, I hear more about in north India. There is a feeling of unease, a sense of insecurity is creeping in," answered Ansari, according to IANS.That comment didn't go down well with another BJP leader either. But what passes between the Vice President and the Prime Minister in the nature of things must remain in the domain of privileged conversation," said Ansari.
