Jan Kranti Adhikar Morcha (JKAM) chief Pappu Yadav, who celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shahnawaz Hussain, on Saturday, said his relation with the Muslim community is unbreakable.
Yadav also said that his meeting with Hussain was not politically motivated.
"I know Shahnawaz Hussain for a long time, from the time when he was new in BJP. My relation with the poor, backward and Muslims is unbreakable, and it is stronger than blood relation, there is no scope for politics in this," the former RJD leader told media persons.
"We have been celebrating Eid, Holi together for a long time, Eid has got nothing to do with politics...Every festival gives the message of love and humanity. Relationship is the most important thing, and that is why I am here," he added.
Yadav and Hussain greeted each other on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr today, marking the culmination of the fasting month of Ramzan.
The duo exchanged pleasantries and shared sweets with each other.
