New Delhi, April 25: Seeking to reach out to Muslims, BJP President Nitin Gadkari today said his party is not against the community but was unfortunately caught in an image warp.
At the same time, he said there was nothing to be apologetic about Hindutva or the core issues of the BJP, including uniform civil code and Ram temple at Ayodhya.
“We are not against Muslims. We are not a communal or caste-based party. We are only against terrorists and not against any religion,” Gadkari told PTI.
Lamenting that BJP’s problem was “image versus reality”, he said it was “unfortunate”. He targeted the Congress, accusing it of not executing Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru because he was a Muslim.
