Are Muslims in Maharashtra mobilizing?
After the Lok Sabha elections, the issue of poll jihad has taken center stage in the assembly elections being held in Maharashtra now. In the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP claimed that many Mahayutthia candidates in Maharashtra were defeated simply because of uneven voting for Mahayutthia candidates in Muslim-dominated areas . However, this allegation by the Bharatiya Janata Party was fully denied by the opposition. But now the truth is out, why more than 60% of the votes were cast in the Muslim areas of the Lok Sabha and only MVA candidates could get votes? Now, we are making the same effort to repeat this in the Assembly elections as well.
In fact, an organization called the Maratha Muslim Seva Sangh and the Maharashtra Democratic Forum have now formed a group in the Assembly of over 180 minority-related organizations such as the People’s hospital. The group has held over 200 meetings in Maharashtra so far. All these meetings were held in Muslim dominated areas of Mumbai like Govandi, Mankhurd, Shivaji Nagar, Bindi Bazar, Nagpada including Dharavi, Anushaktina Gal. Likewise, this is happening in Muslim-dominated areas in other parts of Maharashtra.
TV9 has answers to every question
So far, no one knows much about the organization and no officials from the organization or the organization have come forward, but TV9 Bharatvarsh spoke directly with the coordinator of the Maharashtra Democratic Forum and the Maratha Muslim Seva Sangh The chief dervish had a conversation. To Ahmed.
The immediate question facing Shakir Shaikh and Fakir Ahmed is, how can they spread awareness among voters? He said the Muslim community’s turnout to the polls was always lower in Muslim-dominated areas, so he was touring the state, accompanied by hundreds of NGOs. We are talking about the importance of voting in predominantly Muslim areas so that people come out of their homes in large numbers to vote.
Got the answer to the question Who to vote for?
When he was asked if voters were also told who to vote for? So Shakir Sheikh said, of course, we tell people to vote for a secular party that is committed to protecting the constitution and the country, a party that does not talk about dividing society.
Isn’t it wrong for the BJP to directly link your work to vote jihad as you mobilize directly against a party or alliance? In this regard, Shakeel Shaikh said that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Awareness is spreading among people. We are telling Muslim communities what power their vote has and how it affects election results. How can this be linked to voting jihad? Jihad means struggle and it is incorrect to associate it with jihad.
The organization also played a role in the Lok Sabha elections.
Meanwhile, Fakir Ahmed made it clear that he had worked in the Lok Sabha in a similar manner and blocked Modi’s 400-pass slogan. The BJP lost seats. Likewise, this time we are also working in the Assembly elections and demanding votes for MVA as the BJP is spreading communalism.
After this statement, BJP leader Kirit Somaiya reacted strongly. He said this was vote jihad and there was a conspiracy to spread unrest through such actions. This simply did not work and Jinnah’s ideas were not accepted in this country.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacks opposition
Meanwhile, senior BJP leader and former minister Smriti Irani strongly attacked the opposition on the issue. He said when women suffering from triple talaq demanded justice, where were those who used vote jihad to attack democracy in the country? Where do they say this when poor Muslim youth demand educational facilities? Those seeking votes through what they call “vote jihad” do not believe in the power of democracy. Wherever there is Congress Party, there are Hindus insulting Hinduism and India. Such a conspiracy will eventually be exposed.
Shiv Sena UBT MP says – There is no problem
Meanwhile, UBT MP Priyanka Chaturvedi responded to these allegations by the BJP. At first he said he didn’t know much about it, but if such an NGO inspired people to vote for MVA, what’s the problem? Everyone went to ask for votes. Today, when the constitution and the country are at stake, they will vote wherever they feel safe and when Muslim women get votes from the BJP, then the vote is not jihad. If UBT and Congress get votes, then how can it turn into jihad? Only Hindus and Muslims do this and spread hatred.
