Congress manifesto more appropriate for Pakistan elections: Assam CM
The Hindu
Assam CM criticizes Congress manifesto as more suited for Pakistan, while Congress defends its inclusive promises.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on April 6 alleged that the Congress' poll manifesto was more appropriate for elections in neighbouring Pakistan than for India.
The Congress, on the other hand, said a turncoat like Mr. Sarma would not be able to understand the secular and inclusive ethos of the grand old party, and asserted that its manifesto aims to safeguard the interests of all sections of the society.
Mr. Sarma condemned the poll promise document brought out by the Opposition party, claiming that it was targeted at dividing the society to come to power.
"This is politics of appeasement and we condemn it. The manifesto feels like it is not for elections in Bharat but for Pakistan," Mr. Sarma told reporters on the sidelines of an election rally in Jorhat constituency.
Mr. Sarma maintained that no person in the country, either Hindu or Muslim, wants the revival of triple talaq or supports child marriage or polygamy.
