Rahul Claims Muslim League Is Totally Secular, BJP Reacts Furiously
Rahul Gandhi, the head of the Congress, said that the Indian Union Muslim League is a wholly secular organisation. On Friday, the BJP responded angrily, claiming that the Kerala party is motivated by the same ideology as Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s All India Muslim League.
“These are the same individuals that remained behind after the division. After the partition, they established the Muslim League here and were elected to the legislature. They supported Sharia rule and demanded that Muslims sit in separate chairs.
They all belong to the same Muslim League and are the same individuals.
Rahul Gandhi and the Congress are the ones that recognise Hindu terrorism but believe the Muslim League to be secular, according to Union minister Anurag Thakur.
Thakur said that the former Congress president must support groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, an extreme group outlawed in several nations, and the Muslim League because, after losing the seat in Amethi, he must run in Wayanad, a Muslim-majority district.
Gandhi said to reporters in Washington on a US trip that the Muslim League is a wholly secular organisation with nothing anti-secular about it. He was responding to a query on the coalition between his party and the local party.
Sudhanshu Trivedi, a BJP national spokesman and MP, asserted a connection between the local party and Jinnah’s organisation, which led the partition movement among Muslims.
He pointed out that Kerala was then a part of the Madras presidency, which was won by Jinnah’s party in the pre-Independence provincial elections.
As Muslims predominated in the region, he informed reporters that the Malappuram district council had approved a proposal in 2013 to decrease the minimum age for females to marry from 18 to 16.
Only after vehement criticism from the opposition did the state’s then-Congress administration, which included the Muslim League, retract its position.
According to him, the PFI, an outlawed extremist Islamic group, is a “cultural” organisation but organisations like AIMIM, Muslim League, and Indian Secular Front, a party founded by a Muslim cleric in West Bengal, are secular for the Congress.
The BJP leader made fun of Gandhi and stated that his assertion casts doubt on his intellect.
Gandhi should be pardoned for his views, Kerala BJP leader K J Alphons said, since his “intellectual capacity is limited.”
Rahul Gandhi claims that Jinnah’s Muslim League, the organisation that caused India to be divided along religious lines, is a’secular’ party, according to BJP I-T department director Amit Malviya. Despite his terrible reading skills, Rahul Gandhi is just being dishonest and evil in this situation.
He must also maintain his popularity in Wayanad.
