Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Hind chief Syed Mehmood Madani on Monday accused the Congress party of creating a Modi bogey to spook the Muslim voters into backing the party in the 2014 election.
Madani, a former Rajya Sabha MP, who was speaking at a conference on the demand for reservation for Muslims at Jaipur said,"The Muslim community should not be scared. Secularism is deep-rooted in the country and communal forces can never win over the hearts of general public,". He warned the Congress of backlash from Muslims in the upcoming assembly elections in five states.
He added,"Congress should not try to get Muslim votes by creating fear about somebody. The party should look at possibilities of community welfare which they have not done so far,"
The Jamiat leader asked Muslims not to be scared of the Gujarat chief minister being BJP's prime ministerial candidate and accused both the Congress in Rajasthan and the Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh of failing to protect Muslims. Madani said,"Muslims were at the receiving end during the riots at Muzaffarnagar in UP and Gopalgarh in Rajasthan. The respective governments failed to read the communal undercurrents and act," .
The statement is exact repetition of what Narendra Modi has been saying for long,Congress Mukt Bharat as Congress has now become synonymous term for Bhay(fear), Bhook (hunger), Bharashtachar(corruption) and if one removes Congress from power, these problem can be tackled.
More and more minority leaders are understanding the trick used by the so called secular parties, and they are being exposed of their role in abusing Muslim support for granted, and depriving them of their economic welfare rights, by creating fear of "development and good governance" tuned Modi .
What BJP’s PM-aspirant of 2013 stands for: Development or Communal politics ?
For many, the answer to the above question would appear so obvious they would deem it stupid to even pose it. But since we as a nation have time and again displayed the collective stupidity necessary to reward communal politicking with votes, it might be a useful exercise—in the light of the recent events in western UP. to examine this question afresh.
Narendra Modi’s supporters—at least those who claim to believe in religious equality—have always held that the 2002 Gujarat riots are in the past, that Modi has abandoned it for a developmental agenda, and that we too should move on. This is argued, why this is a self-serving delusion . The recent events in UP’s Muzaffarnagar are significant in that they offer an unambiguous answer, if any was needed, to the question of whether Modi 2013 is the same as the Modi of 2002.
INDIA HONEST panel argues : Will you equate Narendra Modi and Azam Khan on the same platform ? If yes , are not you equating Sardar Patel and Mohammad Jinah on the same stage before India's independence ? Both were nationalist and both were religious.
Again you look in the past and present; and find the status of the minorities in India and Pakistan , you will get an answer and a conclusion.
Second do anyone find the circumstances of Godhra riot and Muzaffarnagar Riot same ?
If Modi is fighting on development plank , he must not be worried ? This is the need of hour for all both majority and minority included and that is the message of Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Hind chief Syed Mehmood Madani
