Congress MP Mohammad Jawed took a jibe at the ruling party, saying that BJP wouldn’t have opened its account if it wasn’t for Muslims. A Congress member Thursday accused the BJP of getting power by flaring anti-Muslim, anti-Dalit, anti-poor and anti-student sentiments, and claimed that if there were no Muslims in this country, the party that is ruling now could not have opened its account.
Participating in a debate on demands for grants for the Education Ministry, Mohammad Jawed said, “They should save education in the country. Just by removing the name of Mughals will not make any difference. Mughals were here for 330 years, they are not going to be removed just because you remove the name.”
The Kishanganj MP said Muslims have as much intelligence as anybody else. “…we can contribute as much as anybody else. I appeal you should not discriminate.”
He accused the government of pursuing discriminatory policies. “It is ruling by flaring anti-Muslim, anti-Dalit, anti-poor, anti-student sentiments. If there were no Muslims in this country, the BJP would not have opened an account,” he said.
Jawed also urged the education minister to restart the schemes for minorities students.
