Bharatiya Janata Party’s national spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi criticized the Congress party, labeling it as “Jamaati Congress” due to its alliances with communal organizations. Trivedi expressed concerns about this trend potentially threatening national unity and democratic values.
During a media address at the BJP headquarters, Trivedi specifically targeted the West Bengal government for prioritizing “Maulvis, Muezzins, and Madrasas” over the Trinamool Congress’s traditional slogan of “Maa, Maati, Manush.” He accused the INDI alliance of engaging in appeasement politics, which he viewed as divisive and detrimental to the country.
Trivedi highlighted Congress leader VD Satheesan’s recent remarks in Kerala, where he showed openness to seeking support from Jamaat-e-Islami. Trivedi also pointed out the Congress’s alliance with the Indian Union Muslim League in Kerala, drawing connections to historical figures associated with the pre-Partition Muslim League.
Trivedi further criticized Congress by likening it to a “Muslim League-Maoist party,” suggesting that it has now aligned with Jamaat-e-Islami, an organization he described as aiming to establish an Islamic state in India. He warned about the consequences of such alliances, emphasizing the communal nature of Jamaat-e-Islami and its potential impact on the political landscape.
