Call for Active Participation from Minority Communities

The Union Minister for Minority Affairs, Kiren Rijiju, emphasized the importance of active involvement from minority communities in the nation's development, stating that without this participation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a developed India cannot be realized.

Speaking at the 'Minority Affection Dialogue' event organized by the BJP Minority Front in Uttar Pradesh, Rijiju highlighted that the government led by Narendra Modi at the center and Yogi Adityanath in the state is dedicated to the growth and welfare of all communities, without any discrimination based on caste or class.

He remarked that the concept of a developed India cannot be achieved by isolating any community. Rijiju stated, “As a representative of the minority communities and the BJP Minority Front under Narendra Modi's leadership, I urge all of you to ensure your participation and responsibility in realizing the dream of a developed India.”

He further added, “Without your involvement, the Prime Minister's vision of a developed India will remain unfulfilled.” Rijiju asserted that if the minority communities strive with complete dedication and honesty, they will play a crucial role in empowering and advancing India.

The dialogue event was attended by religious leaders and intellectual representatives from Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, and Jain communities.

Additionally, the program featured speeches from Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, BJP Minority Front President Kunwar Basit Ali, and Ali Zaidi, Chairman of the Uttar Pradesh Shia Waqf Board.
