Lucknow, 17th Oct. Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak called the BJP a true friend of Muslims on Sunday, accusing secularists of using them as a vote bank and failing to give them their due rights.
Pathak made the remarks while speaking at a meeting of Pasmanda Muslims hosted by the BJP Minority Morcha.
“So-called secular parties used Muslims only as a vote bank. These parties came in power by taking votes of Muslims but they never got their rights. This is the reason why Muslims are so backward today,” he said.
The BJP is a “true well-wisher” of Muslims and it is making meaningful efforts to bring them to the mainstream, he claimed.
“For this, the government is running many schemes, which are benefiting Muslim society,” he added.
Danish Azad Ansari, the state’s Minority Welfare Minister, stated that the BJP is the only party that seriously considers Muslims.
“The way BJP is worrying about education, security and progress of Muslims, no other party has done it before,” he claimed.
One of the main reasons for Muslims’ backwardness, according to Ansari, is that they were never allowed to get quality education.
BJP governments under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath have paid special attention to providing quality education to them, he said.
Ghulam Ali, a Rajya Sabha member of the BJP, stated that the Muslim community must move forward by fully utilizing the government’s schemes.
He claimed that other parties have done nothing but serve their political interests by instilling fear in them of the BJP. What is needed now is for Muslims to understand who is working for their benefit and who has exploited them up to this point, he said.
