'... In Your Attitude. However, they may join hands with you in rebuilding Gujarat only if you take the following steps,' wrote the former MP in an open letter to the Gujarat CM.
The former MP clarifies that the "strategy" behind his open letter was to caution Muslims "to rethink about Modi on the eve of the election, so that they could be weaned away by taking note that Modi has not fulfilled any real Muslim demands."
What if Rajiv Gandhi hadn't given in to the mullahs in the Shah Bano case? What if the Babri Masjid had not been unlocked by Rajiv Gandhi in 1986? What if the Satanic Verses had not been banned?
How and why is the BJP wooing Muslims? It cannot rise above tokens and symbols, above ambiguous rhetoric and emotional appeals. Remember the one about the spider and the fly?
