After Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge wrote an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in search of time to focus on his occasion’s manifesto, the BJP has launched a recent assault on the Congress occasion by sharing an outdated video of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. According to the BJP, within the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections in April 2009, the then Prime Minister Singh stated, “Minorities, notably Muslim minorities, if they’re poor, have prior declare to the assets of the nation.”
BJP stated that he (Manmohan Singh) stood by his earlier assertion that Muslims ought to have first proper over the assets of India. Drawing from the former PM’s assertion, the BJP slammed the Congress occasion saying that the assertion demolished Congress’ “canard and clarification” on Manmohan’s earlier statements. BJP stated, “It supports our assertion that preferential treatment to Muslims is a clear policy of the Congress Party. This is further proof of the Congress mindset to give preference to Muslims in everything, from reservation to resources.”
What Kharge wrote to PM?
It is value noting that on April 25, Kharge wrote a letter to the PM in search of time to focus on the provisions of the Congress Manifesto – ”Nyay Patra”. Kharge expressed considerations saying PM is fed with misinformation on Nyay Patra by his advisors. Kharge wrote the letter in response to the PM’s accusations concerning the wealth redistribution plan and claims of girls’s ‘mangalsutra’ to be taken away for redistribution.
“You are being misinformed by your advisors about things that are not even written in our manifesto. I would be more than happy to meet you in person to explain our ‘Nyay Patra’ so that, as prime minister of the country, you don’t make any statements that are false,” wrote the Congress chief. Karge claimed that Congress’ Nyay Patra goals to present justice to the children, girls, farmers, labourers, and marginalised individuals throughout the communities in India and that PM’s remarks are reducing the dignity of the chair.
