00:00 In a show of solidarity, Dutch right-wing leader Geert Wilders extends his support to

00:06 Nupur Sharma, a former spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party, who has faced threats

00:12 for her outspoken views.

00:14 Wilders, who is vying for the position of prime minister in the Netherlands, expressed

00:20 his admiration for Sharma's courage and indicated his desire to meet her during a visit to India.

00:27 Wilders has consistently defended Sharma's freedom of speech and expression, particularly

00:32 when she faced backlash for controversial remarks about Prophet Muhammad.

00:38 Despite his reputation as a firebrand politician, Wilders has tempered his stance in the lead-up

00:43 to elections, distancing himself from far-right labels and emphasising consensus-building

00:50 in the Netherlands.

00:51 While his party's manifesto once included proposals to ban the Quran, Islamic schools

00:57 and mosques, Wilders now acknowledges the need to appeal to moderate voters.

01:03 However, his party remains firm in its support for banning Islamic headscarves in public

01:08 buildings, reflecting its continued commitment to certain policies amid shifting political

01:13 dynamics.

01:15 As Wilders navigates the complexities of Dutch politics, his engagement with global issues

01:20 like freedom of expression underscores the interconnectedness of political discourse

01:25 across borders.

01:26 Stay tuned with One India News for further developments as Wilders continues to shape

01:32 the political landscape in the Netherlands and beyond.
