Congress is engaged in divisive politics: BJP

Mangaluru: BJP national spokesperson Syed Zafar Islam said that the Congress is engaged in divisive politics.“The BJP, as a nationalist party, would not accept any compromise on national security and there will be zero tolerance towards terrorism. The BJP government at the centre has taken a tough stand against terror activities. Keeping an eye on Muslim votes, the Congress has made an understanding with the SDPI and PFI, which has terror links,” he told reporters here on Saturday.“The BJP government has announced welfare schemes without any discrimination. The Muslim community has benefited from the welfare schemes announced by the government. Community members have realised that Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not believe in appeasement policy,” he said.On the BJP government in Karnataka scrapping 4% reservation for Muslims, Islam said that the issue is before the Supreme Court. “Muslims have not been denied reservation as they are included in the economically weaker section (EWS) category. The government has not snatched away reservation from the Muslim community,” he said.
