“The BJP has carried out an intense effort in Munambam to make Chrians and Muslims clash each other and to make them enemies there,” he told the media here.
The miner also wanted the local people there to realise the deliberate attempt the saffron party to create division in the society.
The new Waqf Bill and the consequent decisions the Centre would not impact the places of worships, khabarhans (graveyards) and madrassas of the minority communities. “The LDF government in the state has the capability to completely protect the interests of minorities,” Abdurahiman said.
The state miner’s reaction came a day after 50 persons embroiled in land disputes in Munambam had joined the BJP in the presence of the party’s state chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar and other NDA leaders.Story continues below this ad
