New Delhi, November 22: The BJP today debunked claims that it is against minorities, with senior leader L K Advani terming them “motivated propaganda”.
Citing examples to debunk this “motivated propaganda,” BJP leader L K Advani said “it is an important enough occasion for me to respond to the consistent propaganda that my party, the BJP, is anti-minorities and anti-Christian.”
“Let me go back into history and cite a few examples to debunk this motivated propaganda,” he said while addressing the golden jubilee celebration of the Archdiocese of Delhi here.
Recalling the early days he said, “the BJP’s predecessor was the Bharatiya Jana Sangh which was formed by Dr Shyama Prasad Mookerjee in 1951. Dr Mookerjee was an eminent freedom fighter who also served as India’s first Industries Minister in Pandit Nehru’s Cabinet.
