Muslims don’t vote for us, but we gave them sanctity: Prasad

NEW DELHI: Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today said Muslims do not vote for the BJP, but the Government has given them “proper sanctity”.

“We have got 13 chief ministers of our own. We are ruling the country. Have we victimised any Muslim gentleman working in the industry or service? Have we dismissed them? We don’t get Muslim votes. I acknowledge very clearly, but have we given them proper sanctity or not?” Prasad asked at the Mindmine Summit here.

He was responding to a question related to development having an impact on culture and diversity.

“We salute diversity and culture of India. There are two ways of looking at it. Let me be very frank today. There has been campaign against us for a very long time, but today we are here because of blessings of people of India,” Prasad said.
