In response to the ongoing criticism from certain Muslim organisations and opposition parties regarding the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2024, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has formulated a strategy to allay any fears of the Muslim community.
Senior BJP leader and former Union Cabinet Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said here today that the minorities, especially the Muslims, should replace their "fashion" of "blocking" the BJP with the "passion" for "following" the party.
The BJP Minority Morcha organised a national membership campaign workshop 2024 at the BJP headquarters to make the membership campaign 2024 successful.
Jamal Siddiqui, the national chief of the BJP Minority Morcha, has voiced strong support for the Waqf Board Amendment Bill recently introduced in Parliament.
The campaign will pay tribute to Kalam, an icon for the Pasmanda Muslims, through various programmes at the district level. Preparations for the campaign have begun, and a review meeting was held via video conferencing to discuss the preparations to reach out to the community.
Speaking with ANI, Siddiqui shared his views on a comment made by West Bengal BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari. He said that Adhikari's statement, "Jo humare saath, hum unke saath," was made impulsively.
"TMC people beat me up. I was stripped and thrashed. I don't trust Mamata Banerjee and the Police. I am associated with the BJP," she said while speaking to reporters.
There are approximately around 1,64,000 booths in Uttar Pradesh, with nearly 20,000 of them being Muslim-majority booths, where fraudulent voting is carried out under the veil. To prevent this, the Minority Wing has prepared a strategy in collaboration with Muslim women activists.
West Bengal Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday hit out at the Kolkata Police for arresting BJP Minority Morcha state president Charles Nandi and his team while they were marching towards Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Kalighat residence.
