Bangalore: Karnataka state unit of Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) called for the joining of hands by secular forces in the country to resist the communal agenda of BJP and its ideological parent the RSS to secure the future of the country.

Speaking at the announcement of the party’s newly elected state committee here on Sunday, IUML National General Secreatry Prof. K.M. Kader Mohideen, said that, while Prime Minister speaks about Development, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and about inclusive growth, his party members on other hand indulge in instigating riots, and polarization of people on communal lines.

He said that IUML will be working with other parties to combat such manipulative politics.

When Nasheman asked the party’s opinion on PM Narendra Modi, Prof. Mohideen replied that they support Modi’s all “good” initiatives. He lauded Modi for saying that “Indian Muslims will live for India, die for India, and terrorism comes from outside”.

He also slammed Imam Bukhari, for calling Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and snubbing Narendra Modi for his son’s anointment to the title of ‘Nayab Shahi Imam’ (Vice Imam) of Delhi’s Jama Masjid.

The IUML leadership announced the creation of a Women’s wing, which would be headed by Dr. Anjum. Mr. Javeedullah has been appointed the state President, Mr. Ilyas as General Secretary, and Mr. Naushad, the new Treasurer.

IUML also announced their participation in the upcoming Gram Panchayat elections in the state.
