Prayagraj, 6 July (HS): Mukhtar
Abbas Naqvi, a former Union Minister and senior BJP leader, called for a
national debate on secularism's political abuse on Sunday. He also claimed that
the phrases secularism and socialism were not included in the Constitution's
original preamble, despite the fact that India has always been both secular and
socialist.
Naqvi
had come to Prayagraj to attend the Muharram celebrations at his hometown of
Bhadari. Following independence, Pakistan raised the Islamic banner, whilst
India pursued the 'Sarv Dharma Sambhav' route.
This demonstrates the values, culture, and thinking of the majority of
India's population. Because the phrases secularism and socialism did not appear
in the original Constitution.
Regardless, India has always been a secular and socialist country,
according to the BJP politician.
During the 1976 Emergency, political greed motivated
the incorporation of secularism and socialism into the Constitution by
undermining its fundamental character. Naqvi proposed a public debate on the
political exploitation of secularism. He also criticised Pakistan, stating,
Made in Islamabad terror toys are proving terrible for the tenets of
Islam and a tragedy for Islamabad. Speaking to reporters, Naqvi stated
that the bravehearts of the Indian armed forces demolished, wrecked, and deconstructed
terrorism's domain, inflicting a penalty that will be remembered for years by
terror toy producers. He emphasised that the Narendra Modi administration is
continuing the magnificent path of excellent governance with consistency and
dedication to iqbal (authority), imaan (integrity), and insaaf (justice).
For the first time since Independence, a
non-Congress administration at the Centre is setting records for good
governance and success on all fronts, all while being stable, and all without
the assistance or participation of the Congress. This is why the feudal clan is frustrated and
furious, according to the BJP leader.
Naqvi attacked the Congress and the Samajwadi Party,
claiming that they are involved in a deception campaign, but that the people
are continuously overcoming their arrogance on the political stage. The cause
for this frustrated fraternity's failings is their folly in viewing democracy
as a Disneyland of the defaulter dynasty, he stated.
Former Union ministers also said that Prime Minister
Modi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and any BJP-ruled state had
never discriminated against Muslims in terms of development, despite the fact
that most Muslims had been hesitant to vote for the BJP for a long time. The
time has come to end this culture of intolerance and untouchability against the
BJP. The BJP represents the reality of
the country, and disregarding it is detrimental to both the country and
Muslims. We'll have to put a trust
shutter over the gutter of dread and bewilderment, he said. According to Naqvi,
India is currently experiencing a golden age of constitutional changes and
inclusive empowerment for the welfare and prosperity of its people.
We must be wary of the communal infection caused by
the so-called pseudo-secular syndicate, who have a history of playing
communalism while wearing the cloak of secularism. Those seeking to become
feudal without fiefdom and landlords without land are attempting to portray the
BJP as a villain in order to prevent Muslims from participating in mainstream
political and development processes, according to Naqvi. He further stated that
every reform implemented by the Modi government ensures constitutional
protection of religious faiths and a commitment to reforming the administrative
system. On the impending Bihar Assembly elections, Naqvi stated that those
expressing concerns about the electoral process have understood that their
swarm of stopgaps would be eliminated and will fail to overcome the mountain of
public mandate.
