Participating in the debate on working of the ministry of minority affairs in Rajya Sabha Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi of BJP said that UPA government has alienated minorities and its ‘secular factory’ has put a stamp of al-Qaida on Muslims all over the country.
“Your secular factory has put a stamp of al-Qaida on Muslims…on each Muslim”, Naqvi said much to the surprise of other members
Going one step ahead he said while the government was only making propaganda that bank credit are being given to minorities. “The loan applications of Muslims are rejected the moment their identity is revealed”, he said.
On Haj subsidy he said that the Haj pilgrims are charged exorbitant fare for going to Makkah. “While the two-way air fair to London is Rs 32,000 to Rs 35,000, Haj pilgrims are paying double the amount for half the distance”.
