Q&A: Muslim groups feel we practise what we preach

Filed under:

Jan Morcha, a newly constituted front of various political outfits with the patronage of former prime minister V P Singh, has given a new lease of life to Raj Babbars political career.

Predictably, Babbar, who was Samajwadi Party MP from Agra until his expulsion, is targeting Mulayam government. He spoke to Rajesh N Singh after Jan Morchas successful rally in Lucknow:

It is generally being perceived that Jan Morcha is nothing but an anti-Mulayam front. What do you have to say?

This is not the general perception. This view is being propagated by Mulayam Singh and his cohorts to get peoples sympathy. We are not opposed to an individual. We are opposing a government which is known for its bad governance.

Under Mulayam, no one is feeling secure as there is a total anarchy with mafia ruling the roost. In our rally on June 30 in Lucknow, CPI general secretary A B Bardhan and RSP leader Abani Roy were present.
