VARANASI: On Thursday, amid the huge crowd of BJP supporters at Maldahiya crossing from where BJP PM nominee Narendra Modi began his road show to file his nomination, a group of Muslim women was also there to support him.
They want to see Modi as the Prime Minister. These women were associated with Bharatiya Awam Party (Rashtriya), all women party. "We support Modi as he speaks and thinks about development, security and integrity of the country", said Najma Parveen, president of the party that claims to have over
35000 members mostly Muslims. Another member of the party and president of Muslim Mahila Foundation Nazneen Ansari said that he (Modi) is a man of vision and he could lead the nation on the path of development.
These women have been in constant contact with senior RSS functionary Indresh Kumar, who was also present in the city on Thursday. To bring these women close to BJP's ideology Indresh Kumar made frequent visits to the city and held meetings with them. They are also making door-to-door visit in Muslim localities to campaign in favour of Modi.
Besides, a pamphlet was also circulated among the Muslims exhorting them to support Modi and strengthen Hindu-Muslim bond. An advocate Shrinath Tripathi issued the pamphlet. The pamphlet read that when Murli Manohar Joshi could not be defeated in 2009, how is it possible to stop Modi in this wave.
