Muslims should replace their ‘decades-old fashion’: Mukhtar Abbas

LUCKNOW: Senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Thursday said the minorities, especially the Muslims, should replace their “fashion” of “blocking the BJP” with the “passion” for following the party.

In a scathing attack on the Opposition, he said the “feudal sultans of the so-called secular syndicate” raised the bogey of fear among the Muslims for a long time which led this section of the society to adopt an attitude of “untouchability and intolerance” towards the “nationalist political party”.

Converting their distrust into trust is the need of the hour, Naqvi said addressing the BJP Minority Morcha Membership Drive Workshop here.

“We have to work hard so that the minorities and the Muslims can replace their decades-old fashion to defeat the BJP with the passion to support it. When the BJP doesn’t discriminate against any section in terms of development then there should also not be any hesitation in voting for the BJP,” he said.
