Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent statement that the reservation for Muslims in Telangana would be scrapped shows the “hatred against the minorities” and it goes against the Constitution, DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said on Tuesday. The BJP, he said, was intending to sow hatred against a certain section and project it as the collective sentiment of the people.
In a question-and-answer format video, as part of his ‘Ungalil Oruvan’ (One among you) initiative, Mr. Stalin alleged Mr. Shah had made such a statement for electoral gains.
“The statement of the Union Home Minister of a country, which has secularism enshrined in its Constitution, is an act against the Constitution,” he said. The BJP leaders have “imagined” that inciting hatred against Muslims would satisfy the Hindus, and that was not the case, he said.
