NEW DELHI: The Narendra Modi cabinet reshuffle on Wednesday did not see any Muslim being inducted, despite a few aspirants in the fray, and Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi remains the community’s lone representative in the Union Cabinet.

BJP’s Rajya Sabha member Zafar Islam was one of the aspirants but could not find a place while after the resignation of M.J. Akbar, there was speculation that one person from the community could be inducted.

Congress spokesperson Meem Afzal said: “There should be no expectation from the BJP as the second largest minority is not on their agenda.”

Community leaders are of the same view.

Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat President Navaid Hamid said: “Muslims don’t expect anything from the BJP except they follow the constitutional mandate… the more they ignore, the more they discriminate, the more they are exposed about their prejudice and vicious agenda against most persecuted, the most marginalised, and the most discriminated community in the country. Even if they have given any more representation, Indians would have not expected any good from that Muslim man for the betterment of the community.” — IANS

  1. So, one cabinet minister out of 30 cabinet ministers ( not counting MoS, as they amount to nothing much ), that rounds to nearly 3.4% 🙄🙄. About the same no of muslims who vote for the BJP 🤣🤣.

  2. This shows how much the sanghis and cow dung bhakts care about Muslims, it is time all Muslims take this issue seriously and start a parallel BDS program. No communication with hindus, no working for hindus and giving them work and a broad social boycott. Only elect Muslim leaders and create safe spaces for Muslims exclusively. It is time we fulfill the Prophecy of Dar-Ul Hind by staking our claim to this land by the use of the sword Inshallah. As Mao said, power flows through the barrel of a gun. It is time we pick up the gun and do to hindus what the jews have done to the Palestinians or what the buddhists have done to the Rohingyas.
