Senior BJP leader and former Union Cabinet Minister Shri Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi today said here that "Horror of Partition" is a "sinister stigma of communal and criminal act" of the Congress and the Muslim League.

While participating in “Maun Julus” and a seminar organised on the occasion of “Partition Horrors Remembrance Day” in Bareilly, UP today, Shri Naqvi said that this "communal collusion" of the Congress and the Muslim League continues even today. Although impact of this collusion is restricted, still they have "dagger of division, disharmony and deception” in their hands.

Shri Naqvi said that "Celebration of Independence" is incomplete without realizing the "Pain of Partition". There is a need to be careful even today from this "trap of poisonous partnership” of “crime and cruelty".

Shri Naqvi said that the Congress is a “conspirator of communal conflict” to fulfil its “political self-interests”. “Re-emergence of the Congress’ criminal communal conspiracy” will be an attack on the fabric of inclusivity, it will also be like “rubbing salt to the wounds of the Partition”.

Shri Naqvi said that while celebrating the Independence, we should not forget the mindless hate and violence during the Partition, which displaced lakhs of families and the humanity was drenched in blood.

Shri Naqvi said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has reminded the new generation of the message and lesson of this “horror of history”. Partition’s pains can never be forgotten. Lakhs of people lost their lives due to mindless hate and violence and the country was divided into two parts.

Shri Naqvi said that we forgot the "Horrors of Partition" while celebrating the Independence; we ignored the agony of lakhs of families and made “the villains of the Partition” as “heroes”.

Shri Naqvi said that the “Partition Horrors Remembrance Day” keeps reminding us of the need to remove the poison of social divisions, disharmony and further strengthen the spirit of oneness, social harmony and human empowerment.

Shri Naqvi said that it is for the first time after the Independence that a non-Congress Government has been successfully completing its two consecutive terms ensuring good governance, pro-poor policies, prosperity and stability and is moving towards the third term under the dynamic and effective leadership of Shri Narendra Modi.
