We will field candidate against Sorake if he is given ticket: Warn Muslim Organisations
Mangaluru, Feb 21: Congress party should not give ticket to former minister Vinay Kumar Sorake for upcoming Lok Sabha elections from Dakshina Kannada District,said Dakshina Kannada District Muslims Organisations Federation president K Ashraf.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, he said that they would not oppose if any other person is given the ticket other than Sorake. If Sorake is given ticket, the federation would protest against it and an alternative candidate would be fielded against him, he said.
Muslim voters had played a major role in his victory when he had contested from Kaup constituency in 2013. But in ZP and Taluk and Gram Panchayat elections, he has not allowed even a single candidate from Muslim community to contest from Congress ticket and thus betrayed the Muslim community, Ashraf said.
When Sorake was asked about denying ticket to Muslims, he had said that 'Muslim candidates will not win as Hindus will not vote for them' and thus insulted the secular ideology of the Congress. There were lot of examples that real Congressmen and people would not vote considering caste and religion. Though Shakti Nagar ward in Mangaluru city corporation was dominated by non Muslim community voters, former mayor Abdul Azeez was elected three times with huge majority from there. It was not fair on Sorake's part to make such statements . The party should not give ticket to Sorake, he said.
CM Musthafa, Mohammad Hanief U, Hidayat Katipalla, Siddiq Talapady, Moideen Monu, Abdul Jaleel Addaka, Muhammad Ashraf Badriya, KH Abubakar, Shabbir Talapady, VH Kareem, Fayaz Bander, KS Abubakar Pallamajalu, Ibrahim Kailar, PV Raheem and others were present.
