'No party is more dangerous for Muslims than Congress,' says Syed Yahya Bukhari

New Delhi: A day after Congress President Sonia Gandhi met a delegation of Muslim leaders led by Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid Syed Ahmed Bukhari to woo Muslim voters, Syed Yahya Bukhari, younger brother of Shahi Imam on Thursday opposed any decision to endorse the ruling party. "No party is more dangerous for Muslims than the Congress," asserted Syed Yahya Bukhari, President, Jama Masjid United Forum. He further added that the Congress was the most communal party in the country that had backstabbed Muslims. “I oppose the decision of the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid of supporting the Congress party and the reason is that honestly if you ask any Muslim in the country, the Congress party I believe is the most communal party. “Muslims say that Bjp is communal party, yes it is. But when BJP attacks the minority, it attacks from the front, Muslims save themselves but Congress always backstabs them,” he said. He did not spare BJP either, attacking the saffron party he claimed that BJP was behind the massacre of Muslims in Gujarat. It is a bitter fact and everybody knows about it, but Congress has also not spared Muslims, he said. "Check the record of last 30-35 years, whether it was Bhagalpur, Meerut, Moradabad or Surat. All this happened during Congress tenure, even it is happening today. Innocent Muslims are being sent to jail, he pointed out, adding, “Whenever elections come, Congress tries to become clean and shows bonhomie toward Muslims and seeks their support. Why should I support Congress?"
