Advani’s words about Muslims are important even today

Recently, it was announced that senior BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani would be honored with Bharat Ratna, after which Lal Krishna Advani once again came into the media headlines. One thing said by former Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Lal Krishna Advani about the Muslim community always remains in my mind and what he had said at that time is still as clear as a mirror.

At that time elections were being held in Nagal Assembly seat of Saharanpur and Lal Krishna Advani had come to address a public meeting at Bhurian Rice Mill in Rampur Maniharan. While addressing the public meeting, senior BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani had said that a lot is talked about the plight of the Muslim community, but if the Muslim community is still going through a period of plight even after so long of independence, then Who is responsible for this, is BJP or Congress responsible?

Lal Krishna Advani had said that Congress ruled the country for the longest time and Congress is considered as a sympathetic party of Muslims, but tell us that even during the longest period of Congress rule, the plight of Muslims did not go away. Is the Congress party not the biggest responsible for this?Even today, Lal Krishna Advani’s statement is as clear as a mirror that the Congress Party has been ruling the country for the longest time and the Congress Party has always left no stone unturned in portraying itself as a sympathizer of Muslims, but despite this, Muslims today If we are going through a period of misery, then BJP cannot be held completely responsible for it because Congress has been in power for so long, it has ruled from the Center to the states and despite that, the plight of Muslims has not gone away. If so, then this question is bound to arise. Even today, senior Congress leaders often mention the plight of Muslims in their speeches and claim that if we come to power, they will get relief from the plight they are going through. Will be found, but such leaders should pay attention to the statement of Lal Krishna Advani that why have the Muslims changed even after the Congress government for so long?
