Mangalore, May 19: The Karnataka Komu Souhardha Vedike (KKSV) has termed the BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi a fascist and a threat to democracy.
“While we do not oppose Modi's electoral win, he should function as per the values and guidelines of the Constitution of India. If he doesn't, then we will hold protests across the State,” he said.
The KKSV members said a State committee meeting would be held on June 1 to discuss the issue and take suitable action.
NDA must fulfill national values, says PFI
Popular Front of India president K M Shareef demanded that the new NDA government discharge its Constitutional responsibility of fulfilling national values such as justice, liberty and equality among others.
“Modi is hiding his divisive and majoritarian politics inspired by the Hindutava ideology,” he alleged. “The BJP has turned a parliamentary election into a presidential election, which will harm the country in the long run,” he added.
Outcome of division among secular parties, says JIH
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has termed the results of Lok Sabha election as unexpected and an outcome of disunity, division and mutual clashes among the secular parties and their leaders.
Mr Nusrat Ali, Secretary General of JIH said the results are a big challenge to secular India, its secular constitution and atmosphere of love and communal harmony. But we hope that the overwhelming majority of people who support positive traditions and values will leave no stone unturned to make the new government continue playing the positive and constructive role for the service of the country.
Mr Nusrat Ali said some points in BJP's election manifesto and statements of its leaders have created apprehensions and doubts about its future course of action. However, we hope the new government and its leaders, in the larger interest of the country, will follow Raj Dharma and work for justice and equality. They will take effective steps to check poverty, inflation, corruption and immorality. Rather than protecting the interests of imperialist forces and capitalist system, they will work for the interests of the country and its people.
Mr Ali expressed deep concern over the fact that it is the first parliamentary election in the history of Independent India that representation of 20-crore Muslim population has slipped down to the worst level. It is feared this will further lessen opportunities for them to protect their constitutional rights, get justice and present their viewpoint on national issues in parliament. The situation demands, Mr. Ali said, that leaders of Muslim organisations and eminent personalities of the community organise themselves, guide the Millat in the changed condition and ask it to execute its responsibilities while posing complete faith in Allah.
