Alleging that the BJP has adopted a “divide and rule” policy, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D.K. Shivakumar on Tuesday came down heavily on the party for curtailing the right to livelihood of Muslim traders.
“They cannot stop Muslim traders from doing business. We extend our support to the progressive citizen groups who have condemned this ban on Muslim traders in temple fairs. No one can stop traders from any community from doing business,” he asserted.
