Panellists feel that the coming elections have triggered an atmosphere of hate; Congressman questions BJP\u2019s estimate of infiltration<\/em><\/p>\n

BJP leader Om Mathur has said the National Register of Citizens will be implemented across India after 2019 polls; and the country will no longer be a dharamshala for foreign entrants. APN<\/em>\u2019s popular debate\u00a0Mudda<\/em>\u00a0discussed the issue of NRC again. Anchorperson Anant Tyagi posed questions to AIUM\u2019s Maulana Abdul Hamid Nomani, Islamic scholar Ajmal Khan, Congress\u2019 Omkar Nath Singh, RSS\u2019s Ashok Sinha, BJP\u2019s Ashok Thakur, and\u00a0APN<\/em>\u00a0consultant Govind Pant Raju,.<\/p>\n

Thakur said: \u201cThe BJP<\/a>\u2019s stand is clear. Our government is for development and is against corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omkar Nath said: \u201cHow can the BJP representative claim say that 10 crore outsiders have infiltrated the borders due to the Congress\u2019 purportedly faulty policies? How can he mention such a massive figure irresponsibly?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sinha said: \u201cLet\u2019s talk of the unity of the country. Are we going to divide the country like this? Look at stone peltings in Kashmir, and mob lynchings elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nomani said:\u201dWhy are we following discretionary policies? Pakistan, Bangladesh, Tibet or Sri Lanka, they should be told to take back their people. This is not a Hindu-Muslim issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Khan said: \u201cWe can talk of development only when we have peace. Everyday some new violent incident takes place. Till as long as parties want to fight elections on a \u2018divide\u2019, there can be no solution to this problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thakur said: \u201cI want to ask Khan and Nomani, why the leaders are using provocative speeches. The Muslim common man is with the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raju said: \u201cElections are responsible for such provocative statements. After the Mandal Commission, there has been a new kind of politics in the north and an easy way to win votes by dividing the people has been devised. Now it is being said that NRC was started in Indira Gandhi\u2019s days. Politicians are only looking to grab mileage. The Congress, too, is using the same tricks. Gau raksha laws were there even earlier, but the impression of late has been that gau seva<\/em> has been the sole mission of the new dispensation \u201c<\/p>\n

Khan said: \u201cSubramanian Swamy has recently stated that polls are won on emotional issues. The government is only speaking a divisive language.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raju said: \u201cPeople need to know the truth, and the government does not seem to have the answers for issues that affect the people, like lynchings, NRC list and so on. No game changer politics is happening. Education is lagging, lawlessness is rampant; development is taking a back seat.\u201d<\/p>\n
