Zameer Ahmed issues controversial statement on Muslims votes to BJP
Bengaluru, Feb 3: "In the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections, Muslims will not vote for BJP. In case if any Muslims voted to the BJP, they aren't the Muslims", said Minority Welfare, Hajj and Wakf Minister BZ Zameer Ahmed Khan.
Inaugurating the National Awareness Convention, organised by the All India Jamiatul Massoor Karnataka (Nadaf, Pinjara, Mansoori and Dudekula communities), at the Palace grounds here on Sunday, he said that if Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister again, the secular Indians would have to live in fear. It was the wish of everyone not to repeat it. Muslims should not vote for BJP. They should give vote for secular parties, he added.
For the future of the country, forthcoming Lok Sabha elections were so important. So every Muslim should compulsorily cast his or her vote. This time, the Congress would win more than 20 seats as each LS constituency has more than 3 to 5 lakh Muslim voters, he said.
"We have elected Modi for a change in the country. But he has not fulfilled not even a single promise. He has created various problems like inequality, economic crisis and others. So we should not elect him again", he said.
The state has more than 85 lakh Muslims and more than 30 lakh were identified from Nadaf, Pinjara, Mansoori communities and the government would think of forming a separate Board, he said.
Uttar Pradesh former minister RA Usmani Mansoori, West Bengal MLA Mohiddin Shams, All India Jamiatul Mansoor Karnataka president Aman Kodagali Mansoori, working president KM Zameer Mansoori, general secretary Gous Pasha Mansoori and others were present.
