New Delhi: Former Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ended the “communal vote politics” in the nation, which has irked the Congress.
“Whenever the popularity of India and PM Modi increases in the world, it increases the insanity of this arrogant family* They (Congress) can’t digest how the world is calling Modi the boss,” said the Senior BJP leader.
“Rahul thinks that the country is Congress and Congress is the county. Attacking PM Modi has become the conspiracy of attacking the country,” he said.
The union minister asserted that the Prime Minister has eliminated communal vote politics, adding that the Muslim community is also a part of India’s progress.
“PM Modi has eliminated the communal vote politics and this has irked the Congress* Muslims of India are part of India’s development and progress and PM Modi has assured this. I don’t know what makes them delusional whenever they visit a foreign land,” he stated.
Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is on a three-city US tour where he aimed at the Narendra Modi-led Centre and said the impact of some actions of the BJP-led government was being felt by minorities and people from the Dalit and tribal communities.
He was addressing the ‘Mohabbat Ki Dukaan’ event in San Francisco, California.
“It is being felt by the Muslims most directly because it is done most directly to them. But in fact, it is done to all communities. The way you (Muslims) are feeling attacked, I can guarantee Sikhs, Christians, Dalits, and tribals are feeling the same. You can’t cut hatred with hatred, but only with love and affection,” Gandhi said.
“Also, this is a periodical thing. What is happening to Muslims in India today happened to Dalits in the 1980s. If you went to UP in the 1980s, this was happening with Dalits…We have to challenge it, fight it and do it with love and affection and not with hatred and we will do that,” he added.
Gandhi further said he had to launch ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ since all other instruments of doing politics (connecting with people) were “being controlled” and the “whole India” walked with him during the mega foot march.
“Some months ago, we started a walk from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. While walking we realised that normal instruments for doing politics (connecting with people) were not working anymore,” sadi Gandhi.
“They were controlled by the BJP and RSS. People are threatened and agencies are used against them. In some way, it had become quite difficult to act politically. That is why we decided to walk from the southernmost tip of India to Srinagar,” he added.
