Once An Ally, MIM Is Now Communal For Cong

Till the other day, the MIM was an electoral ally of the Congress party. Both the parties had an alliance even in the GHMC till now. But with the MIM trying to align with the TRS, the Congress has started seeing it as a communal party.

AICC General Secretary Digvijay Singh on Monday described the MIM as a communal party.

“We had a tie-up with the MIM earlier. But the recent statements made by the MIM leaders are highly communal in nature and the Congress party will not tolerate such communalism," Digvijay Singh said while addressing the Greater Hyderabad Congress Convention at Jal Vihar here on Monday.

He said that the Congress party treats both "Hindu communalism" and "Muslim communalism" equally and therefore, there was no question of aligning with the MIM in future.

"They may try to create religious controversies in order to gain political mileage out of communal riots," he said while referring to MIM and Sangh Parivar.
