Bengaluru: Karnataka Muslim Jamaat on Monday issued a statement that urged voters to vote for a government that will protect the constitution and democratic values of the country.

Karnataka Muslim Jamaat General Secretary Moulana NKM Shafi Saadi, while addressing a press conference said that India being the largest democracy of the world should bring into power a government that can protect its democratic values and not compromise with it. He further noted that people should actively turn up for voting on Election Day and voting percentage across the country should increase

“In Karnataka, about 15% voters are Muslims and yet the political parties have repeatedly ignored the community and its demands over the year. It is time we start looking for an alternate solution in politics for the community” he added.

“Political parties use its Muslim party workers only during elections to attract Muslim votes. They use their Muslim workers as agents of getting the votes of the community. There is a need to create awareness in this regard as this often results in the split of our votes and thereby weakening the value of our collective voting power” he noted.
