The Congress’s manifesto reflects the “real face of hate” for majority community, which is the true character of the party, alleged Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma in Mangaluru on May 7.
“Many are saying that Congress’s manifesto is self goal. It is not a self goal, but a real face of hate for majority community. I have studied history of the party, this is the true character of the Congress,” Mr. Sarma said.
In the manifesto, the Congress has equated Popular Front of India (PFI), which is already banned for their alleged involvement in extremist acts against the nation, with Bajrang Dal, which is “not an extremist organisation”, argued Mr. Sarma. By stating that the Congess will ban organisations like PFI and Bajrang Dal, the Congress is assuring of a tit-for-tat. “This is nothing but giving olive branch to PFI, which is condemnable,” he said.
