With Muslim-only scholarship, BJP continuing appeasement policy of the Congress party

"Divisive language used by BJP leaders during election campaign and behaviour post-election reeks of hypocrisy": Sanjay Singh

 The Bhartiya Janata Party-led NDA government launched it's new scheme for providing scholarships for 5 crore Muslim students over the next 5 years. Reacting to the scheme, Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh said during a press conference at the party office that the BJP's hypocrisy had been exposed. 

 Sanjay Singh said, "The Muslim scholarship is being publicized by the government with great fanfare. AAP welcomes the fact that the NDA government's attention has been drawn to Muslim students. But the question is - why discriminate between students on religious grounds? How is this different from the same appeasement politics that BJP used to accuse the Congress of indulging in?"

 "Aam Aadmi Party demands that all students, regardless of the community the belong to should be given scholarships for education. Such schemes should not be on religious grounds alone," said Sanjay Singh. Reminding the press of the BJP's divisive discourse during the election campaign, Singh said, "We all remember the kind of language used by the Prime Minister, hie party and it's leaders in the run up to the election against minorities in the country. The sharp distinction between then and now is clearly visible to the people of the country. The BJP's hypocrisy on the issue stands exposed."
