Mumbai, 25th Sept, 2021:

Senior BJP leader, Union Minister and Deputy Leader, Rajya Sabha, Shri Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi today said here that “Gaga Gait Gang of Modi Bashers” is getting “trapped in its own tainted trickery”. Addressing the state executive meeting and training camp of BJP Maharashtra Minority Morcha in Mumbai today, Shri Naqvi said that during the last 75 years of country’s Independence, the “Political Merchants of Minority Votes” have played “75 tricks” on their Political Chessboard” to deceit the Minorities. Creating atmosphere of fear, raising bogey of intolerance, spinning web of religion, spreading rumours is their “expired formula to politically exploit the Minorities”.

Shri Naqvi said that the Minorities have to be remain cautious of such "political merchants" who are wearing "veil of secularism” while roaming around with “cart of conspiracies” to hijack the Minority votes. Shri Naqvi said that the height of hypocrisy of "Pseudo Secularists" is that, the Shiv Sena gets “Communal stamp” when it remains with the BJP and gets “Certificate of Secularism” when it goes with the Congress. This “Pseudo Secular Syndicate” is running a "Certificate Centre" which makes someone secular and someone communal within minutes.

Shri Naqvi said that the people, especially the Minority communities, have seen that these “Merchants of Minority Votes” are engaged in "political exploitation" of the Minorities. Shri Naqvi said that secularism and inclusive development is the “Constitutional commitment” for the BJP. Shri Naqvi said that the Modi Government at the Centre and the BJP-led state governments have worked with the commitment to “Development with Dignity” and “Empowerment without Appeasement”, which has ensured the equal development of the Minorities along with other sections.

Shri Naqvi said that more than 5 lakh 50 thousand artisans, craftsmen and people associated with them have been provided employment and employment opportunities through “Hunar Haat” alone in the last 7 years. In the last 7 years, more than 5 crore minority students have been given various scholarships. More than 50 percent of the beneficiaries are girl children. The school drop-out rate of Muslim girls, which was 70 percent earlier, has now come down to about 30 percent. Our commitment is to bring it down to zero per cent in the coming days.

Shri Naqvi said that basic infrastructure such as Schools, Colleges, Smart Classrooms, ITIs, Hostels, Residential Schools, Sadbhav Mandap, Skill Development Centres, Common Service Centres, Market Sheds, Drinking Water-Health facilities, Sports facilities etc worth thousands of crores of rupees have been constructed in backward and deprived areas of the country under “Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karykram”.

Shri Naqvi said that besides this, the Minorities have also been benefitted on a large scale through other welfare schemes of the Modi Government. Two crore people have been provide houses across the country by the Modi Government and 31 percent beneficiaries are Minorities. 12 crore farmers have been given “Kisan Samman Nidhi” and 33 percent beneficiaries are from Minority communities. 37 percent of 8 crore “Ujjwala Yojana” beneficiaries are Minority women. 31 crore people have been benefitted through “Mudra Yojana” and 36 percent of them are Minorities. 13 crore toilets have been constructed under “Swacch Bharat Mission” across the country and 22 percent of beneficiaries are Minorities.
