Congress slams BJP over Gumansingh Damor’s Jinnah remark, calls it ‘Bharatiya Jinnah Party’ 

Gumansingh Damor.

While taking BJP’s Ratlam Lok Sabha candidate Gumansingh Damor’s Jinnah remark into notice, Congress, on Monday, rephrased BJP as “Bharatiya Jinnah Party” and demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s apology over his candidate’s remarks.

Taking a dig at Modi for campaigning in favour of Damor in Ratlam, Congress spokespman Pawan Khera said, “Those who created furor over Jinnah’s portrait in Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) are now campaigning for a person who praised Jinnah. Damor with his remarks has exposed the thinking of the BJP and the RSS.”

This comes amid when a day before the Lok Sabha elections’ sixth phase polling, Damor had said the partition could have been avoided if Muhammad Ali Jinnah had been appointed as prime minister.

However, Khera added, “These are the same people who formed government with Fazlul Haq’s Muslim League before Independence.”
