Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Tuesday alleged that the Congress has designs to impose the ‘Sharia law‘ in India if the opposition party is voted to power in the Lok Sabha polls.
Adityanath levelled these serious charges against the Congress at a poll rally in UP’s Amroha, claiming the grand old party made their intent clear in the election manifesto to implement the ‘Sharia law’ in the country and redistribute people’s property.
“The Congress and its allies have betrayed the country and have once again come to you with their false manifesto. If you look at the Congress’ manifesto, they say that if they form a government, we will implement the Sharia law,” the BJP firebrand alleged.
“I ask you, will this country be run by the Constitution made by Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar or by Shariat?” he asked.
Adityanath said that the Congress talks about implementing personal laws for different communities, which, he claimed, means the party will implement Sharia law in the country.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has in his election rallies said the Congress has included redistribution of people’s property in its manifesto. Congress people talk in their manifesto that they will implement ‘vyaktigat kanoon’ (personal laws). That means Sharia law will be implemented because Modi ji stopped the practice of triple talaq,” Adityanath said.
“They say that we will again restore personal law. These people will implement Sharia law…,” he claimed.
Escalating his attack, Adityanath alleged, “The Congress manifesto says that they will take people’s property and distribute it. Do you want to allow the Congress and Samajwadi Party to loot your property?”
“Look at the condition of these shameless people. On one hand, they are eying your property and on the other hand they are making the mafia and criminals their necklace and reciting Fatiha in their name,” he said.
Referring to a comment made by former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh in 2006, Adityanath said,
“When Dr Manmohan Singh ji was the Prime Minister, he had said that Muslims have the first right on the country’s resources…” “So where will our Dalits, backward classes, Kharagvanshis, Pals, poor and farmers go? Where will the mothers and sisters go, where will the youth go?” he asked.
