The recent arrest of Maharashtra Wakf Board CEO N D Pathan by officials from the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has certainly raised questions over Congress’ so-called genuine love for Muslims. The board is the custodian of over 23,500 properties and owns over 37,000 hectares of land.

Questions are being raised as the grand old party of India has always basked in glory owing to the political support they receive from minority communities — namely the Muslim community. And it is thanks to their ever-growing support that the Congress hasn’t lost an election in Maharashtra, except during the 1995 elections, post the Babri Masjid demolition when the Sena-BJP coalition rode the victory horse.
