Senior BJP leader and former Union Cabinet Minister Shri Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi today said here that the Congress, a “History-Sheeter of Communalism” has become “Mystery-Sheeter of Secularism” by defaming the democratic, Constitutional and secular values of the country. Addressing a press conference at BJP Kerala office at Mararji Bhavan, Kozhikode, Shri Naqvi said that the Congress and the Communists are competing for “Communal Championship”.

Shri Naqvi said that the “professional proprietor communal champions” treat the Minorities as their “patrimony political property”. Shri Naqvi said that their thinking is that “If Muslims and other Minorities will not vote for us, where else will they go”. This type of "take it for granted attitude" is not in the interest of the country and these communities.

Shri Naqvi said that despite of “Sinister Stigma” of carnage and cruelty in several communal riots, the Congress has claimed to remain a “Champion of Secularism”.

Shri Naqvi said that interestingly, the Congress has been showing the “bravery of branding others in communal colour” only to cover its own communal, criminal cruelty and crime”.

Shri Naqvi said that "Daft Dissent" should not become "Determination to Defeat" the nationalists. The BJP is the reality of India and one should not ignore the reality.

Shri Naqvi said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has demolished the Congress’ practice of “duping appeasement” by his “devotion to development with dignity”. Shri Modi has replaced the “politics of polarisation” with “people’s participation in prosperity”.

Shri Naqvi said that the last nine years of the Modi Government have been stupendous years of all-round development and inclusive empowerment. Crores of people have been benefitted through schemes such as PM Garib Kalyan Yojana; PM Awas Yojana; Swachh Bharat Mission; Mudra Yojana; Ujjwala Yojana; Ayushman Yojana; Kisan Samman Nidhi, PM Jan Dhan Yojana and others.

On the last day of his three-day Kerala visit, Shri Naqvi today participated in various programmes in Kozhikode. Shri Naqvi visited Vengeri Bypass Road and interacted with the residents, he attended elder workers meet at Mararji Bhawan; he met eminent personalities from various fields, industrialists. Shri Naqvi met social media influencers at SK Auditorium in Puthiyara in Kozhikode; he also addressed people from Minority communities at Sea Shell Residency.
