When Rahul Gandhi referred to as IUML ‘secular’
It is value noting that the IUML which is an offshoot of the Muslim League that performed a major function within the partition of India is an ally of the Congress get together. While the IUML has hyperlinks with Jammat-e-Islami and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), each accused by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) of spreading radicalism in Kerala, Rahul Gandhi had referred to as the IUML a ‘secular’ get together.
During his controversial US go to in June this yr, Rahul Gandhi asserted that the Muslim League, a Muslim political get together in India which performed a significant function within the partition of India on non secular traces, was “completely secular”. The interviewer requested him, “You talked about secularism and democracy while opposing the Hindu party BJP, however, the Congress in Kerala has been in alliance with the Muslim party, the Muslim League in Kerala, the state from which you were an MP”. To this, Rahul Gandhi mentioned, “Muslim League is a completely secular party, there is nothing non-secular about the Muslim League. I think the person has not studied the Muslim League”.
Notably, whereas the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) claims to be born after Indian Independence in 1948, is definitely an off-shoot of Pakistan founder and Islamist Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s All India Muslim League (AIML). The All India Muslim League was succeeded by the Muslim League in Pakistan and the Indian Union Muslim League in India. While the IUML on its web site claims that it’s “uncompromisingly anchors the nationalist and secular principles”, the get together’s actions have been in sharp distinction to this.
Congress backs Palestine

“The Indian National Congress has always believed that the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people for a life of self-respect, equality, and dignity must be fulfilled only through a process of dialogue and negotiations while ensuring the legitimate national security interests of the Israeli people. Violence of any type never provides a solution and must stop,” the Congress get together mentioned.
Interestingly, the Congress get together’s decision didn’t even point out the phrases Hamas or Israel. Meanwhile, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor in a dialog with IndiaToday mentioned that “Hamas cannot be called a terrorist organisation”. He asserted that whereas the US has labelled Hamas as a terrorist organisation, the federal government of India has not made any such classification. Tharoor’s assertion comes even when Prime Minister Modi has explicitly termed the assaults on Israel as “terrorist attacks”.

Perhaps out of political crucial to keep away from upsetting the ‘vote bank,’ the Congress get together can not comprehend that Hamas holding harmless Israeli individuals hostage, killing kids and households, and raping quite a few civilians is terrorism.
