Mangal Prabhat Lodha on Zeeshan Siddique: 'Siddique has spilled out the beans'
BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla said that the grand old party may project for the vote bank and for appeasement's sake that it is with the minorities. But actually, it has done the most damage to minorities, reported ANI.
"Today Zeeshan Siddique has spilled out the beans which was told by me six-seven years ago that Congress is the most anti-Muslim party. It may project for the vote bank and for appeasement's sake that it is with the minorities. But actually, it has done the most damage to minorities. Today Zeeshan Siddiqui is facing it himself. We have seen that Congress allowed riot after riot to be orchestrated. Congress party used to say that Uddhav Sena is responsible for the Mumbai riots but today they have allied with them because Congress hates Muslims," he said, reported ANI.
Earlier this month, Zeeshan's father Baba Siddique quit the Congress and joined the Ajit Pawar faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
