Gehlot deplores BJP's 'bid to provoke Hindutva forces & polarization'; Says 'strong leader like Indira Gandhi would have banned the party'

Jaipur, Jun 14 (UNI) Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Sunday charged the ruling BJP with attempts at provoking Hindutva forces and effecting religious polarisation in the country.
"Had a strong leader like Ms Indira Gandhi been in power in the country today, she would have banned a party like BJP for this act," the three-time ex-CM asserted while addressing a function organised by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Welfare society at the Constitution Club of Rajasthan here this afternoon.
The programme was to commemorate the martyrdom day of Nabab Dada Kayam Khan. "Just see, what is the approach of the people in power today? Their approach is weakening the country. They are deliberately carrying out religious polarisation. There are 403 Assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh, but the BJP did not give even a single ticket to a Muslim candidate, and yet they call it a national political party!
