Guwahati: A member of the Assam Congress Abdur Rashid Mandal claimed on Sunday that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were attempting to rewrite India’s history and that it is only because of them that the name of the nation has gained notoriety around the world.
“They are trying to change the history of India, and are now trying to create a fake history of the country. Everyone knows the history of India and all recognize it. When the BJP-RSS are rewriting India’s history, it is only a hatred history,” Abdur Rashid Mandal said.
The congress MLA claimed that the communal violence in India rose after the BJP came to power in 2014.
“They are targeting Muslims. The remarks of the BJP leaders against Muslims have created an atmosphere of hatred in the country,” he said.
“On one hand, the BJP-RSS want to make India Vishwaguru, on the other hand, they degrade the country’s name in the world,” he added.
He further said that the autonomy of all constitutional bodies has been “finished” by the BJP and RSS.
“With the intention to do polarizing politics, these people try to create an atmosphere of violence when the elections arrive; but the Muslims of the country do not come into the influence of provocative talk or engage themselves in violence,” Mandal said.
The Muslim leaders, according to the Assam Congress MLA are working for the BJP for their own personal gain and are being exploited by them to inflame racial tensions.
