NEW DELHI: Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Rajnath Singh has said his party is ready to “apologise” to Muslims for any “mistake”, the strongest pitch the party has made to reach out to the community ahead of the general election.
“Please note that whenever, wherever if there has been any mistake and shortcoming on our part, I assure you that we will apologize to you by bowing our heads,” said BJP chief Rajnath Singh while addressing a gathering of Muslims here .
Talking about the 2002 Anti-Muslim Gujarat riots, Rajnath Singh said Congress engineered such a propaganda as if Modi had ordered the massacre of all Muslims at that time and is now not even ready to accept the clean chit given to him by the courts.
Singh said BJP was not against Muslims and the community should not go by the propaganda against it. He asked them to vote for BJP this time for the sake of the nation.
The BJP chief asked the Muslim community not to vote for electing a government but for a strong nation where brotherhood and humanity shall prevail.
It must be remembered that BJP is always considered as a hardliner anti-minorities party in India and its leader Narendra Modi was accused of criminal negligence during 2002 Gujrat riots against Muslim minority of India.
