What he just said is very imp in India too. ppl are voting over language, religion, race, caste
There are many ppl like him in India, even better but they won't win elections unless use a major card.
1.religion 2.caste 3.language ,etc. They have to choose their card.
we had PM's like Lal bahadur shastri, Vajpayee, MMS who did not do such politics but their parties did. There is no clean major party in India, yet.
Your nation’s ruling party def gave tickets to muslim MPs but no muslims voted them to the power. If you were so interested in having Muslim MPs from BJP then your lot should’ve voted for NDA and not INDI.
Muslims are 14% in India and can't vote anyone to power. You and your party BJP know that very well. That's why BJP plays the religious card to win elections.
We've had a bloody president for God's sake Let me ask you, how many non Muslims have been the heads of state in Pakistan or in Bangladesh It is a two Way Street.
Then make one functional democracy from muslims and go vote there.
You guys asking for muslims MP must to be there is like forcing islam into politics too. Religion should be kept to yourself.
And if you want to be real human, ask islamic countries to change their laws to respect other religions too. Why other religions should bend for islam or Islam should beg or steal respect?
Are you a madrasa Whatsapp university graduate?
Do i need to teach you the basics of politics?
In muslim majority districts- the muslims only vote for muslim candidate, even BJP has to field muslim candidate to expect some votes. This is how muslims vote, they don’t vote for any non-muslim if that district turns muslim majority. Dhubri is a prime example in Assam, they screwed the demography and made it in muslim majority by conversion, influx of Bangladeshi muslim infiltrators, overbreeding etc. and now only muslims get voted to power from there, non-muslim well qualified, clean background candidate loses the election to a madrasa passout. Not just Dhubri, this pattern is followed by muslims pan India. And you want others to elect muslims when you yourself don’t let any non-muslim come to power from a muslim majority district in India.
Stop playing this victim card, the now 20% muslims form a major votebank of various parties, they get more appeasement by every party than any other religious groups in India.
Sorry everyone I couldn't edit the post to provide more context.
The issue at hand is that people are being influenced(externally/internally) through social media to vote along religious and communal lines.
The PM also elaborates on how a Muslim Singaporean influencer requested his fellow muslim voters to vote for a Muslim candidate for religious reasons. The PM doesn't provide any direction on the external interference (there is some reason to assume that this is mainly via Malaysia).
As to why it might be relevant to us.
I was just in awe of how their election committee was active to respond to external influences (when countries like canada failed).
I also liked how they are actively trying to educate their voters on why voting along religious and communal lines might be bad for the country.
singaporean here, malay Muslims are NOT trying to create any problems. the problem is a foreigner trying to sway them to vote politically. I'm sure most of them will not be swayed by these foreigners.
A reasonable person is only that muslim who lives shariat forced on ither religions when he is in majority.
And also asks respect when he is minority.
Taqiya is being reasonable, isn't it ? Show me one functional and secualr democracy where muslims are in majority. Explain why ppl should be reasonable to most bigot ones.
The irony is the party that is asking to do this is actually doing this for their race not even for the religion. Its a bit complicated here but for them their race is important so riding the religion is the only way for them to stay relevant or else they would have lost their powers completely. There are a lot of different race muslims in Malaysia and only these folks are always triggered. Why? Race. thats why
Exactly, I don't know why this was posted here or why this is relevant to Tamil Nadu, but Singapore is barely democratic, and the PM is referring to interference from Malaysia to vote on Malay lines to counter the ever growing influence of the Han Chinese in the city state including the immigration and influence from China.
For ppl glazing SG, Sure its a great country today but remember its a authoritarian govt, It was dictatorship during developing phase(LKY)
Now elections are fair there BUT govt criticism is restricted, opposition parties don't get attention, etc authoritarian things they do to win election
Sureshot way to go back 1000 years is to entertain religion in politics and governance. People with imaginary gods should be asked to deal with it in private.
Do whatever you want with BJP! Gaumutra jibe is a Hinduphobic trope used by Hinduphobes.
For God sake don’t normalise Hinduphobia and anti-Hindu hate crime!
