New Delhi: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday while reacting sharply to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks regarding the party’s manifesto, accused the ‘ancestors’ of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of ‘supporting the British and the Muslim League’ and not the country during the freedom struggle.
On social media post X, Kharge said, “Modi-Shah’s political and ideological ancestors supported the British and Muslim League against the Indians in the Freedom Struggle”.
Slamming the Prime Minister and Home Minister for invoking the Muslim League against the Congress manifesto, the Congress President said, “Even today, they are invoking the Muslim League against the ‘Congress Nyay Patra’ guided and shaped according to the aspirations, needs and demands of common Indians”.
He alleged that ‘Modi-Shah’s ideological ancestors’ in 1942 had opposed Mahatma Gandhi’s call for “Quit India”, which was the movement chaired by Maulana Azad.
Kharge claimed that Shyama Prasad Mukherjee formed his governments in Bengal, Sindh and NWFP in the 1940s in coalition with the Muslim League.
“Did Shyama Prasad Mukherjee not write to the then British Governor about how the Quit India movement of 1942 can be “combated” and how the Congress should be suppressed? And for this, he said that “Indians have to trust the British,”? the AICC President wrote.
The Rajya Sabha MP said that Modi, Shah their nominated president were spreading lies about the Congress manifesto.
He said that due to fear of losing this election, the RSS was remembering its “best friend, the Muslim League”.
“There is a stink of RSS in Modi ji’s speeches, BJP’s electoral graph is plunging day by day, therefore the RSS has started remembering its best friend-the Muslim League ! There is only one truth – The Congress’s Nyay Patra reflects the hopes and aspirations of 140 crore people of India. Their combined strength will put an end to Modi ji’s 10 years of INJUSTICE!,” Kharge said.
