JAMMU, Oct 31: A Muslim cleric joined the State unit of BJP today among others ahead of the Assembly elections.
Muslim cleric from Nowshera-Lam area, Imamam Ikhlaq Ahmed Nakshabandi joined BJP at a function here which was attended by senior party leader and MLA Ashok Khajuria.
“It is after a very long that people have found a leader of high stature such as Narendra Modi and a party like BJP which has been attracting the masses for its sincere commitment for development and welfare of one and all”.
“BJP did not work on region or religion lines but embraced every one, which is the reason for its growing popularity even among the Muslims,” Nakshabandi said.
Addressing the gathering, Khajuria said, “BJP is a secular party. People have started realizing the false propaganda of Congress and other self-proclaimed secularists and are now coming closer to us.”
