Srinagar: Hurriyat
Conference headed Syed Ali Shah Geelani Fridaysaid Congress party is communal in the
disguise of secularism and is equally ‘anti-Muslim’ like the Bhartiya Janata
Party (BJP).
Reacting to the
India media reports that claimed former Prime Minister of India, P V Narsimha
Rao – who was associated with Congress – along with BJP leader LK Advani and
other Sangh leaders were aware about the ‘planned demolition’ of historic Babri
Masjid, the Hurriyat spokesman Ayaz Akbar told GNS: “From the day one, we were
saying that Congress was also involved in Babri Masjid demolition along with
other Sanghis.” Akbar said Congress tried to hide the reality but it failed to
do so.
“The Congress
party is wearing RSS knickers. It is anti-Muslim party like BJP. They are same
and have no difference. It is absolutely wrong that Congress is a secular
party,” he said.
The Hurriyat
spokesman alleged that Muslims in India are being treated as ‘second class
citizens’. “Indian Muslims are being treated as second class citizens. Neither
Congress nor BJP have done anything good for them. They remember Muslims at the
time of election,” he said.
Hitting out at
BJP Prime Ministerial candidate, Akbar said: “It would be dangerous for Indian
Muslims if Modi becomes Prime Minister as his nomination is part of RSS’s plan.
His role has always been anti-Muslim and Gujarat riots are best example.”
He said that it
is unfortunate that Indian Muslims have failed in producing their own
leadership. “They should have their own leadership which could have safeguarded
their interests and identity but unfortunately they failed.” (GNS)
