Congress misleading Muslims: TRS
Hyderabad, April 13 (INN): The Telangana Rashtra Samithi on Sunday accused the Congress party of misleading the Muslim community using some religious organisations.
Reacting to the support announced by some religious institutions including Jamiat Ulema Hind, Tahreek Muslim Shabban and United Muslim Forum to the Congress party in ensuing elections, TRS MLC Mohammad Mahmood Ali strongly condemned their move and described their decision as unilateral.
He said none of these Muslim groups approached the TRS leadership with their Charter of Demands and their support to the Congress was stage-managed. However, he said TMS President Md Mushtaq Mallik contacted him asking him to bring TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao or K Tarakarama Rao to the TMS meeting.
"Since all our senior leaders are busy with the campaign, they were not in a position to make it to the event at a such a short notice. Therefore, I myself offered to participate in the event. But he declined my request. It is strange that they don't want to respect or trust the Muslim leaders of TRS and talk about Muslim welfare," he said.
Stating that TRS is a secular party, Mahmood Ali made it clear that the TRS would never ally with the BJP or NDA. He said that the TRS has refused to ally with the BJP although it was ready to contest only on 15 Assembly and two Lok Sabha seats in Telangana. He said the TRS would support the non-Congress, non-BJP front after the elections and will never join the communal forces.
