Hyderabad: In the next Lok Sabha elections, the competition is between secular and communal forces. In such a situation, it is obligatory on the part of the Muslims to be alert in order to prevent the division of secular votes.
It may be mentioned that during the past five years, Muslims are targeted by Modi Govt. in some form or the other. BJP leadership promoted communalism and targeted the Muslims in a planned way.
Political analysts opine that TRS might support NDA after the declaration of results since during the past 5 year, on every occasion, TRS supported the steps taken by Narendra Modi Govt.
It may be noted that United Muslim Forum declared its support to TRS unilaterally.
Some of the members of the forum had the opinion to support secular parties and if the Congress candidates are strong, they should be supported.
Since the chairman of the forum is holding an official position, he blindly announced the support of the Muslims for TRS.
It may also be noted that during Assembly elections, Maulana Jaffer Pasha had dissociated himself with the activities of the forum.
Muslims are perturbed when they heard that United Muslim Forum decided to support TRS. It would have been better to extend support to individual secular candidates irrespective of their party associations.
