Malappuram: BJP candidate and former vice-chancellor of Calicut University M Abdul Salam said that educated Muslims are aware of the country’s achievements. I am sure that the Muslim youth will recognize the foolishness surrounding issues like Jnanwapi and CAA. IUML Kerala President Sadiq Ali Shihab had even said that there is no need to protest against the Ram Temple.
Instead of such issues, the Muslim community should think about the future. Muslims’ perception of Modi is slowly changing. Has Modi hurt any Muslim in the last decade? Why should they fear Modi? I have seen many Muslim mothers supporting Modi for abolishing Mutalaq.
Modi’s concept of one nation is far above secularism and is inclusive of all people. How long can Muslims stay away from BJP? Modi and the BJP government are going to stay in the country not only for five years, but for all the time to come. He said that Modi’s development is all inclusive.
There is very little Hindutva sentiment among Hindus in Kerala. They constitute 55% of the state population. If they had stayed together and Hindutva sentiments had risen, the situation in Kerala would have been very different. Many Hindus now feel persecuted and neglected. Adehaham said that if they develop Hindutva thoughts in future, we cannot find fault with them.
TAGSM. Abdul Salam
