“To me, you are like Allah”,Gujarat Congress MLA Indrajit Parmar addressing Muslim voters

Ahead of Gujarat state assembly elections, a video of Mahudha MLA and Congress leader Indrajit Parmar has gone viral on social media where he is addressing local Muslim residents of his area where he likens them to ‘Allah’. The video was shared Pradipsinh Vaghela, BJP Gujarat General Secretary.

મારી માટે તમે અલ્લાહ સમાન છો, મા-બાપ છો.

આ દવાખાનું પેલી બાજુ (હિંદુ વિસ્તારમાં)જાય તો કોઈ કામનું નથી. એમને દવાખાનાની જરૂર જ નથી! હું મુસ્લિમ સમાજના લીધે ધારાસભ્ય બન્યો છું.

હું બાંહેધરી આપું છું કે હિંદુ વિસ્તારમાં દવાખાનું નઈ જવા દઉ

In the video, Parmar can be heard speaking in Gujarati where he said, “Many Muslim people, women spread this false rumour that our MLA is not with us. But for me you are like Allah, my parents. If this dispensary goes in that area [Hindu dominated area], then it is of no use. They [Hindus] will go to private hospitals only. Only this Muslim community which goes to ‘Aarogya’. I have become MLA because of you. Muslim community has given me a lot of votes. I am giving you guarantee that I will not let a dispensary come up there.”

However, Parmar has claimed that the video is from 2017 and denied religious discrimination.

This video comes close on heels of another video by Congress leader Chandanji Thakor, who had claimed that only Muslim community can save the country and that only Muslim community can vote Congress to power. (OPindia)
