POONCH, Apr 6; Lashing out at Congress & NC, BJP leader Farooq Khan (Retd IGP) today said that both the parties are traders of Muslim voters who just sell the sentiments of Muslim community.
Addressing the series of election rallies at Poonch, Surankot, Thanamandi and Barflian, the former IGP said that since independence Congress always exploited the sentiments of Muslims for votes. It never worked for the betterment, education and upliftment of Muslim community in reality that is why the Muslims are still most backward community in the State as well as in the country, he added.
He said due to the negligence of political parties like Congress and NC, the Muslims are impoverished. In urban and rural areas alike Muslim youths are uneducated, unemployed, unskilled and frustrated and hence they are moving towards anti-social activities.
Khan urged the Muslim community to vote for BJP for their betterment and play a major role in the country’s development. He said that Narendra Modi will ensure peace, harmony and development back in the State. He further said if BJP comes in power, then they will certainly work for the Jammu-Poonch Railway track, the Border Area land disputes and better Infrastructure in the region, he added.
