Bengaluru (Karnataka) – Muslims are no longer a minority in the country. They are now 22 crore. They should adopt the attitude of the majority and participate in the work of Nation-building, Congress leader Rahman Khan advised the Muslims speaking at a press conference.
“There are 20-22 crore Muslims in the country. According to me, they are not minorities. How can 22 crore people be a minority? We’ve been given that colour,” Rahman Khan said.#Congress #Muslims https://t.co/pbMT7va0dm

Rahman Khan added :
Muslims should contribute to the development and become good citizens. Instead of constantly demanding from the Government, we should now try to give something to society.
According to Articles 14, 15 and 16 of the Constitution, if a society is backward and in need of assistance, the Government can positively help.
Congress party is secular and has been defending secularism for the last 70 years. Had the Congress not been secular, then today it would have nothing to offer to the country. (Did Congress not say that Muslims have the first right over the country’s resources. If Congress was secular – The condition of Hindus in this country would not have been this pathetic. Hindus would not be called ‘saffron terrorists’. India would not have been divided based on religion – Editor)
