PM Modi Addressing Concerns and Inviting Participation
During an interview with Times Network’s Navika Kumar and Sushant Sinha, PM Modi emphasized that his government is not biased against Islam or Muslims. He encouraged Muslims to reflect on why they may have felt neglected under previous administrations, particularly during the Congress era, and urged them to consider the future of their children.
Breaking Barriers and Dispelling Misconceptions
Dispelling concerns of exclusion, PM Modi invited Muslims to directly interact with the BJP. He reassured them that they would be welcomed and encouraged them to voice their opinions by engaging with BJP offices. His invitation aimed to break down barriers and foster dialogue between the party and the Muslim community.
Condemning Congress’s Fearmongering Tactics
PM Modi criticized the Congress party for perpetuating a narrative of fear and insecurity among minorities, accusing them of thriving on such sentiments for political gain. He highlighted the need for a shift away from fear-based politics and emphasized the importance of fostering a sense of inclusion and empowerment among all communities.
Looking Ahead: Lok Sabha Elections
As the Lok Sabha elections unfold in seven phases from April 19 to June 1, PM Modi’s call for Muslim engagement with the BJP adds a new dimension to the ongoing political discourse. With 93 constituencies across 11 states polling in the third phase on May 7, the political landscape continues to evolve.
Embracing Inclusivity and Participation
PM Modi’s message underscores the BJP’s commitment to inclusivity and encourages all sections of society, including the Muslim community, to actively participate in shaping the country’s future.
