They also come to know who is with the BJP and who are contesting elections with their help, who are spreading hatred against Muslims in the country and who are defaming Muslims and spewing poison against Muslims”.
He said that the public has become well aware of who is trying to plant the lotus flower through the back door in Kashmir.
