During the elections in Uttar Pradesh, two new words were heard – ‘Vote Jihad’. In the election meeting of Samajwadi Party, Muslims were told that if they still do not come together then the ‘Sanghi government’ will destroy the coming generations, hence now the time has come for vote jihad. In front of Salman Khurshid, his niece told the people that those Muslims who go to the meetings of BJP leaders and support BJP, they should be socially boycotted, hookah-water should be stopped from all of them.
Till now you must have heard the word Love Jihad a lot but in this election, Vote Jihad has been entered. This entry has been made by Maria Alam Khan, niece of senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid. Maria Alam Khan is the leader of Samajwadi Party. Actually Maria Alam Khan was addressing a public meeting in Qaimganj, Farrukhabad. Salman Khurshid has been MP from Farrukhabad twice, but under the alliance this seat has gone to Samajwadi Party. From here, Maria Alam had reached Qaimganj to campaign for Samajwadi Party candidate Naval Kishore Shakya. Many Muslims live in this area. Maria Alam first called the Muslims campaigning in favor of BJP candidate Mukesh Rajput as traitors to the community, appealed to stop their hookah water, then said that if the attacks on the Muslim community are being carried out today, then Muslims should stop them. We will have to unite and vote against BJP. Referring to CAA-NRC, Maria Alam said that if oppression has to be stopped, then vote jihad will have to be done, vote jihad is the only way to get freedom from oppression.
Here’s what Maria said. “If we talk about today, today this sacrifice is necessary… We have reached a place where neither we can win alone nor we can lose… If we are still not united then this Understand that you will work to make the efforts of this Sanghi government to erase our name and face from here successful. You will work to make his plans successful. Therefore, very wisely, without being very emotional, but very silently, come together and fight for votes. Because we can only do Jihad for votes and work to drive out this Sanghi government. I feel very ashamed when I heard today that some Muslims sat here and organized a meeting of Mukesh Rajput. I think the society should stop their hookah water. Don’t be so selfish that you play with children’s lives. Play with the lives of our children. How many people are in jail today due to CAA and NRC and let me tell you, I am happy that Salman Khurshid Saheb is fighting the cases of those children for free. This is a big thing. We are fighting, struggling for you. But if you don’t support us, we can’t do anything alone. Because you are our strength. And if you sit down with such a heart that nothing will happen now, then it doesn’t happen. Will fight a hundred times. Will lose a hundred times. But we will still get up and walk. The second thing is that people are saying that whatever opportunity we get today. Whatever election meeting is held today, it is said that the Constitution is in danger. Democracy is in danger. I say that now humanity is in danger. There are attacks on humanity. So this time vote very consciously. Don’t get misled by anyone’s words.”
Farrukhabad Police has registered a case against Maria Alam and Salman Khurshid for violating the Model Code of Conduct by demanding votes in the name of religion. In fact, the alliance of Samajwadi Party and Congress in Uttar Pradesh is dependent on the Muslim and Yadav vote bank. The duo of Akhilesh Yadav and Rahul Gandhi feel that if their candidates get outright Muslim votes in UP, then BJP can be given a fight on many seats. There is no need of any expert to know what Muslim voters think and whom they vote for. Muslim voters in UP believe that now they get two meals a day ration, law and order is better, police do not harass unnecessarily, people in kurtas do not loot, houses are built, roads are built, life is peaceful but when it comes to When it comes to voting, most of the Muslim voters talk about pressing the cycle button. But a change is visible nowadays. There are some Muslims who believe that after getting so much, they too should change. Some Muslim leaders fear that the Muslim vote might be lost. That is why words like vote jihad are being coined in Muslim dominated areas. Muslims are being threatened that if BJP government comes again, their identity will be in danger. On the other hand, BJP is trying to say that if the opposition is betting on Muslim votes, then it should focus on Hindu votes and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is doing this work very well. On Tuesday, Yogi alleged in Bengal that Mamata government is preparing to make Hindus a minority in the state by illegally settling Bangladeshis there. (Rajat Sharma)
