2 April 2014 5:27 AM IST
In a clear rebuttal to senior leader VK Malohtra’s statement on Jamia Nagar and Batla House, Delhi BJP chief Harsh Vardhan on Monday said his party was the ‘only well-wisher’ of Muslims in the real sense and no area is a terrorist hub in the eyes of the party.
Addressing a huge conference of Muslims in Keshav Puram area, BJP’s candidate for Chandni Chowk, Vardhan said, ‘BJP is the only well-wisher of Muslims in real sense.
‘The Muslim community has already seen this during the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government. And even when Modi government is formed, the educational, social standard of Muslims would be improved so that this community gets due respect and justice and is not treated as vote bank only. No area can be treated as terrorist hub in the eyes of BJP,’ he said.
Malhotra was served a legal notice on Sunday by the Batla House residents for his recent remarks where he called Jamia Nagar and Batla House areas as ‘a hub of terrorists’.
Vardhan also said BJP was the only party in India which doesn’t relate any class, religion or community with terrorism.
‘Actually, terrorism is a global problem. Good and evil persons are found in every society and religious group. Only those people who have lost their way follow this path and BJP does not discriminate between majority and minority. After coming to power, my party would accord highest priority to the education of Muslims,’ he said.
Vardhan assured the people of the area that after becoming the MP he would make the 56 Beegha Park and Gulabi Park more beautiful and rededicate them to the people.
Attacking the Congress, he said, ‘The so called secular parties use Muslims as vote banks. After the formation of Narendra Modi Govenrment, the educational, social standard of the crores of Muslims will be improved so that this community gets due respect and justice and not treated as vote bank only’.
