New Delhi, May 9 (UNI) A working paper by the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM) claiming a substantial jump in the share of the Muslim population in the country has evoked sharp reactions from opposition parties.
D Raja, General Secretary of Communist Party of India said that the paper has been brought to polarise the voters on communal lines.
"BJP government has no data on COVID deaths, migrant labourers & their miseries. The government has not conducted any survey on poverty or unemployment. They have not conducted the national census. But suddenly, during general elections, the PM-EAC has come out with data on population, with the sole objective of polarisation," he said.
