Anurag Thakur: Congress 'Wants to Give Your Children's Property to Muslims'

Congress Wants to Give Your Children's Property to Muslims: On Saturday, Union Minister Anurag Thakur sparked a row by alleging that the Congress wants to give Muslim property to your children.

Addressing a poll rally in Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpu, Thakur said, "In the Congress manifesto, along with the hand of the Congress, the hands of foreign forces are also visible who want to give your children's property to Muslims, finish the nation's nuclear weapons, divide the nation on casteism and regionalism”.

"The tukde-tukde gang has surrounded Congress completely and hijacked their ideology," he said.

According to Anurag Thakur, the children's property must remain with them or should it go to Muslims, so it's up to you whether you want to join the Congress gang's tukde-tukde or the Modi party's 'Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat'.

However, Thakur claimed that the BJP gave Muslims "equally all rights" and that it was not based on religion but rather "because it was their right".

According to Anurag Thakur, property is inherited through hard work and it is the right of your children to inherit it. He also said people pay taxes, due to which the country is developed.

Anurag Thakur further said, “When Rajiv Gandhi became the PM, there was a law that 55% of property would go to the government, but he abolished this law and saved his property. Now, Rahul Gandhi did not get married so he wants to take away your children's property. Gandhi family does whatever suits them."

The Congress filed a complaint with the Election Commission alleging Thakur violated the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).

Jairam Ramesh, Congress general secretary, said the party filed a complaint with the Election Commission against Thakur, seeking "immediate and meaningful" action otherwise.

In his opinion, Thakur is following in the footsteps of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

According to Narendra Modi, if Congress wins power, they will give the country's wealth to "those who have more children", referring to Muslims.

This remark was met with vehement opposition by Congress.
