No Political Dispensation Right from Independence Has Ever Cared For The Muslims And Their Issues; Mamata And Her Ilk Use Them As Vote Banks

By Sumit Paul, New Age Islam 8 July 2024 Hakim and His Ilk Don't Understand That Muslims Are Being Used By This Crafty Woman Whose Only Objective Is To Perpetuate The Rule Of Trinamool Congress In West Bengal And Retain Her Post Of The CM Till Death Just Like The Bearded Megalomaniac At The Helm Of Indian Politics. ----- "Calcutta Mayor and close aide of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Firhad Hakim's recent speech stirred a controversy after he said that people who are not born in Islam are unfortunate. His speech openly called out people to convert to Islam. His remarks came during an ‘All India Quran Competition’ event that took place on July 3." Close aide of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim ------ Firhad Hakim is a moron whose brain has slipped into his rectum. While his statement requires to be condemned in no uncertain terms, you must also ponder as to who emboldened this man. The CM Mamata Banerjee, now called Begum Mamata, has lionised these rogue elements. Hakim and his ilk don't understand that Muslims are being used by this crafty woman whose only objective is to perpetuate the rule of Trinamool Congress in West Bengal and retain her post of the CM till death just like the bearded megalomaniac at the helm of Indian politics. The only difference lies in approach. While the bearded 'gentleman' wants to rule by eliminating all Muslims, this stormy petrel of Bengal wants to embolden Muslims. Mind you, she's not a sympathiser of Muslims. In fact, no political dispensation right from independence has ever genuinely cared for the Muslim community and its issues. All parties have used them (Muslims) as vote banks. Since Muslims tend to vote en masse in favour of a specific party, Mamata has been encouraging them to thrive and survive in her state which has become a shelter for the dubious Muslims coming from Bangladesh, Burma and neighbouring countries. These people have been staying illegally in West Bengal and they vote for Mamata and her party for their survival. In return, Mamata looks elsewhere for her political survival. In other words, it's a perfect quid pro quo arrangement. Go to the hinterland of West Bengal and you'll see Bangladeshis living illegally. Muslims outnumber Murshidabad in West Bengal. It's an open secret that Muslims of Murshidabad adjust their watches as per the time in Bangladesh which is 30 minutes ahead of India. For example, if it's 10 am in India, watches and mobile time displays of many Muslims (though not all) in Murshidabad will show 10:30 am. So, it's obvious that these Muslims labour under the belief that Bengal is their fiefdom and Islam will soon be the faith of mankind. Mamata Banerjee is to be blamed for creating such a vicious mind-set. It's the tragedy of this country that we've a dire dearth of honest politicians who can think beyond their vested interests. ----- A regular columnist for New Age Islam, Sumit Paul is a researcher in comparative religions, with special reference to Islam.
