Former V-P Hamid Ansari’s remarks exposed ‘Muslim League-Maoist character’ of Congress, says BJP
At an event commemorating late constitutional expert A.G. Noorani, Hamid Ansari had referred to former PM’s view saying that ‘the real danger to India was not communism, but Hindu right-wing communalism’, citing Noorani’s book The RSS: A Menace to India
On Monday, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accused former Vice-President Hamid Ansari of exposing the "Muslim League-Maoist character" of the Congress party through his remarks. At an event commemorating constitutional expert A.G. Noorani, Ansari cited Noorani's book, The RSS: A Menace to India, which stated that former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru considered Hindu right-wing communalism to be a greater threat than communism.
BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi praised Ansari for his comments, stating that they exposed the Congress party's shift towards a Maoist-Muslim League alignment. Trivedi also pointed out that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had previously described the Muslim League as "absolutely secular," despite the party's origins in Jinnah's organization and the presence of Muslim League members in Kerala's current government.
