Jharkhand cabinet minister Irfan Ansari engaged in an important dialogue with national Congress minority president Imran Pratapgarhi during a visit to his New Delhi residence on Saturday. The meeting, framed as diplomatic courtesy, tackled current affairs and minority empowerment head-on.
Issuing a statement, Ansari stressed organizing minorities as a priority. He lambasted the BJP for leveraging social media to deceive the youth and advance a politics of division, posing threats to democratic health.
Discussions zeroed in on minority realities in states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh, with plans to amplify party presence locally. Both urged the community to bolster secular and democratic causes.
Congress’s track record of equitable treatment for all groups was reiterated by Ansari. This interaction reflects the party’s proactive stance on inclusivity amid political flux.
Experts interpret it as preparation for electoral showdowns, targeting minority voters strategically. The emphasis on countering online propaganda underscores a key battleground in modern Indian politics, where narratives shape voter sentiment profoundly.
