Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) should have a fair, just and large hearted attitude towards minorities, expressed a group of Muslims who discussed emergence of AAP and the strategy of Muslims.
In the discussion organized in Aligarh on January 12, the participants analyzed the performance of AAP in Delhi elections and the party’s policies.
President of Sir Syed Awareness Forum, Dr. Shakeel Samdani said it would be premature to predict how many seats Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) could win in the next Lok Sabah elections, and what would be its popularity graph.
“But this is certain that the rise of AAP has disturbed the arithmetic of the leading parties of the country and they are unable to understand how to face the challenge of AAP in 2014,” he stated.
Mass entry of people in AAP reflects the mood of the poor, downtrodden and suppressed minorities of the country who are very much disturbed in the country, he added.
“They want the solution of deceit, frailty, non fulfilment of promises and insensitivity of political parties. They are also worried about price rise and corruption,” said Dr. Samdani.
“AAP should fulfil its promises to retain its popularity and the party should also have a fair, just and large hearted attitude towards minorities.”
While criticizing Congress and SP for forgetting their promise to Muslims, Retired Bank Officer Najam Abbasi asked AAP to clear its policy regarding Muslims at the earliest.
Rashid Usmani, Advocate and Vice President, Income Tax Bar Association, Aligarh said that Samajwadi Party must fulfill its promises regarding Muslims otherwise it will meet the same fate like Congress in Delhi.
Director, Arunachal University of Studies, Arunachal Pardesh, Khalil Chaudhary said that since large number of people are joining AAP, that’s why Muslims should also join AAP.
“This is a political movement which has no parallel in independent India. The people are joining this party above the religion and caste considerations and they want to build India like a beautiful bride. That’s why Muslims should also participate in this political movement,” he noted.
Social Worker, Dr. Haseenuddin said that Arvind Kejriwal and his team has got the pulse of the people that’s why they got a big success, but their movement will be incomplete without the participation of Muslims.
“They should immediately induct a Muslim in their ministry and also send a delegation to Muzaffarnagar to inquire about the condition of riot affected people,” stated Haseenuddin.
Shoaib Ali, former cabinet member of AMU Students Union, advised AAP to formulate a national policy for every section of the society.
Maulana Noman Qasmi, Director, Faiza Academy; Nizamuddin, President, Aligarh Madarsa Association; Social Activist Dr. Jarrar Rizvi, Abdullah Samdani, Ateeq Ansari of Momin Conference; Dr. Anjum Taseem and Ayesha Ansari were among the esteemed participants.
