Mamata Banerjee should be more critical of Narendra Modi: Muslim cleric

[vicky sen]

KOLKATA: Accusing BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi of being an "opportunist", prominent city cleric Maulana Barkati on Tuesday asked Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee to be more critical of Modi in order to prove her secular credentials.
The imam of city's Tipu Sultan Mosque, Maulana Barkati, said, "We know she is secular but If Mamata Banerjee wants to prove her secular credentials, she should be more aggressive and critical about Modi. Rahul Gandhi has been critical of Modi, we want Mamata Banerjee also to come out openly in criticising Modi."
The cleric's comment comes at a time when all political parties are aggressively trying to woo Muslims for their 28 per cent minority votes, which is a deciding factor for 28-30 seats of the 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state.

Barkati lashed out at Modi for seeking the votes of the Muslim community.

"Why is he asking for the votes of Muslims, when he has a problem in wearing the Muslim cap. He should be ashamed about asking for our votes. He is an opportunist," he charged.

Why we Indians even vote for these idiots..........

if right from the independence, our demand would have been DEVELOPMENT in place of these Secular/Communal BS than today we would have been seen as the true competitor of China.

But our PRIORITIES seems totally flawed.

On another note, I am proud that Modi din't wear skull cap & made him just another politician looking for some votes..............

If he would have done it, i would have never voted for him.

We didnt have many options.

Really? or we din't CREATE many options?

In a country of crores, i am sure one or two can always stand up as true leaders & think above these Secular/Communal BS
