Eyeing Muslim votes, BJP's minority cell to make 'Alpsankhyak Mitra' in Gujarat

The BJP's minority cell has launched a drive to connect with Muslims in poll-bound Gujarat by making at least 100 "Alpsankhyak Mitra" which roughly translates to '(friend from the minority community) in assembly segments having a sizeable population of the community, party leader Jamal Siddiqui said on Sunday. 

Each such "Alpsankhyak Mitra" of the party would be given the responsibility to ensure 50 minority votes for the BJP from their surroundings.&nbsp;

The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) minority cell has launched a drive to connect with Muslims in Gujarat, which goes to polls later this year, by making at least 100 "Alpsankhyak Mitra" in assembly segments having a sizeable population of the community, party leader Jamal Siddiqui said on Sunday.
People belonging to minority communities, mainly Muslims, will also be included in the BJP's booth committees in such assembly segments, the party's minority cell chief told PTI. "The BJP's minority cell has started a drive to connect at least 100 Muslims hailing from non-political background with the party as its sympathisers. They could be spiritual leaders, professionals, or entrepreneurs," Siddiqui said.
Each such "Alpsankhyak Mitra (friend from the minority community)" of the party would be given the responsibility to ensure 50 minority votes for the BJP from their surroundings, he said.
He further said members of the minority cell will be included in the BJP's booth committees in 109 assembly segments that have substantial Muslim population -- from 25,000 to one lakh votes.
The BJP's outreach comes at a time its state government in Gujarat is under attack for releasing 11 men convicted for raping a Muslim woman, Bilkis Bano, and killing her family members during the 2002 communal riots.

Asked about this, Siddiqui defended his party's government saying it had formed a committee "following the instructions of the High Court and that committee decided to release the convicts." "It was only the BJP government which punished them and they have been released after serving a certain punishment...after all, mercy is part of Indian culture," Siddqui said.
When asked about 2002 riots, Siddiqui said it was an unfortunate incident and people have no move forward.
"Riots happened in 2002, it was unfortunate. It is past now, people have moved on. People have seen that Prime Minister Narendra Modi doesn't differentiate on basis of caste and religion. People irrespective of their faith have benefited from welfare schemes of his government," he said.
As per the 2011 census, Muslims are the biggest minority in Gujarat, constituting 9.65 per cent of the population. But it could send only three MLAs, all belonging to the Congress, to the assembly in the 2017 elections.
The Congress had fielded five candidates, while the BJP didn't give ticket to any Muslim candidate in the last assembly election.&nbsp;

American lawmaker Ilhan Omar has angered India by actions aimed at legitimising Pakistan's illegal occupation of a part of Jammu and Kashmir. But her recent trip to Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir is not the first time that she has tried to interfere in the J&K dispute between India and Pakistan. In recent years, Omar has been on a constant campaign to paint India as a hell for the Muslim community.
In October 2019, months after the Indian government scrapped Jammu and Kashmir's special status, she targeted the Modi government at a Congressional hearing. She said, "Under Modi and the BJP government, all of these mutual values have been threatened. And I think we have to understand the situation in Kashmir as part of an overall Hindu nationalism project of the BJP. The situation in Assam is as bad as Kashmir, if not worse. In both cases, the impunity we have seen for crimes against Muslims under the BJP was warming for such worse things to come. There have been official statements to the effect that no Buddhist, Christian, Sikh, or Jain refugees need to worry about their status. This is a clear anti-Muslim programme. At what point, do we no longer share values with India? Are we waiting for the Muslims in Assam to be put in those camps?"
Then, in early April 2022, Ilhan Omar compared PM Modi to dictators like Augusto Pinochet, under whom Chile saw extreme political violence. She said, "What worries me is that this time, we seem willing to let Modi be our new Pinochet.How are we promoting a free and open region by supporting Modi? Why has the Biden administration been so reluctant to criticise Modi's government on human rights? What will it take? How much does the Modi administration have to criminalise the act of being Muslim in India for us to say something?"
Ilhan Omar's latest tour of Pakistan and PoK led to a sharp reaction from India. It forced the US government to clarify that Omar was on a personal trip to Pakistan, and not an official tour.

Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from UP's Domariaganj has been telling his voters that if they elect him again, Muslims will stop wearing their skullcaps and start putting Hindu tilaks on their foreheads.'

The RSS' Muslim wing on Friday appealed to the minority community to vote for the BJP in the assembly polls in five states, saying Muslims are "'most secure and happy' under the saffron party's whereas the Congress, SP and the BSP considered them just as vote bank.
The Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM) listed various schemes implemented by the BJP governments at the Centre and in states for the welfare of the community and said the party is 'the biggest well-wisher' of Muslims in the country.
The opposition parties, including the Congress, Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), have only considered Muslims as their vote bank and after coming to power, they gave the community members poverty, illiteracy, backwardness and "atrocities like instant triple talaq", the MRM charged.
The MRM's 'Nivedan Patra or letter of appeal was printed in the form of leaflet for distribution in the poll-bound states. 
RSS' Muslin win accused opposition parties of running propaganda against the RSS and the BJP for long by saying that Muslims will be thrown out of the country if BJP comes to power.
'How many Muslims have been expelled from the country in the past seven years?' it asked.
The MRM claimed that the incidents of “communal riots and atrocities” on Muslims have come down “drastically” since 2014.

If you had any doubt that the Uttar Pradesh election will be fought on an overt communal agenda, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has spelt it out for you.
Yogi Adityanath has called the UP election "80 versus 20 battle". UP has roughly 80% Hindus and 20% Muslim voters.
The chief minister made the controversial remark at an event organised by a private news channel in Lucknow when he was asked a question about Brahmin votes in UP.
"The contest has moved much ahead," Yogi replied, adding: "The fight is now 80 versus 20". He said that 80% of UP, meaning Hindus, are with the BJP, while 15-20% will take a different path.
The UP CM has in last few months made several overtly communal statements using terms like "abba jaan". The BJP has been constantly attacking the main challenger Samajwadi Party and has been trying to paint it as pro-Muslim party.
Uttar Pradesh will go to polls in 7 phases starting February 10 till March 7. The results of the election will be out on March 10.
