"We must rethink voting Congress If party gives ticket to Sorake who is anti-minority"
DK District Muslim Federation warns Congress
Mangaluru: We will rethink voting Congress if the party provides the Lok Sabha election ticket to anti-minority candidate Vinay Kumar Sorake, warned K. Ashraf, president of the DK District Muslim Federation.
Vinay Kumar Sorake has previously won the Kapu and Udupi constituency with the support of Muslims and minorities' votes. However, he had denied Muslims and minority candidates from contesting local bodies' polls. With this, he had attempted to keep Muslims and minority community candidates far from politics. His attention was to end the minority community's political presence, the Federation alleged.
"It has been heard that the Congress is giving the ticket to Sorake to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls from Dakshina Kannada constituency. We will rethink voting Congress if the party gives the Lok Sabha election ticket to anti-minority candidate Vinay Kumar Sorake," the Federation warned.
The Muslims, representatives, and leaders of the minority communities in the Congress should express their stand on this issue, said K. Ashraf, president of the DK District Muslim Federation.
