BJP Minority Cell Protest against UPA Government
Patna: July 4, 2007
 The minority cell of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) in Bihar on Wednesday took out a rally against the 'anti-minority policies' of the UPA government from the party's state headquarters to the R-Block crossing where it turned into a public meeting.
Leading the rally, BJP leader and former Union Minister Shahnawaz Hussain said that the Congress and its allies, by raising the usual BJP specter, grabbed the votes of the minorities but failed to do anything considerable for the them.
"It is no wonder then that the Muslims of India have lost their confidence in the Congress and are coming out in support of the BJP," Hussain said adding soon Muslims of Bihar would hold a rally against the UPA government at Patna's Gandhi Maidan and launch an all out assault on the Congress-led central government.
 A delegate of the BJP leaders also handed out a memo to the Governor against the UPA government's anti-Muslim policies.
Minority cell president Mufti Abdul Wahab, Prof. A. Samashi, BJP national media coordinator Sanjay Mayukh and several other BJP leaders participated in the rally.
Later at a press meet, Hussain said the result of the upcoming Presidential elections would be shocking to the UPA sympathizers.
"By not supporting the re-election of President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the Congress and Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) president Ram Vilas Paswan have proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that their sympathy for the Muslims is nothing more than a vote-getting sham.
"Regardless of whether Kalam should continue to be the President of India or not, the way the UPA leaders have treated him is despicable and in violation of established norms of the office of the President," Hussain said.
