Mumtaz Patel has reacted to the statement of Congress leader Rashid Alvi. He said that Congress is the only secular party which takes everyone along. I believe that if Muslim voters today get a third option, they will be attracted towards it. We saw during Bihar elections, Maharashtra elections that he supported AIMIM.

Congress leader Mumtaz Patel further said that there should be some communication gap and we should not talk about Muslim voters only during elections. We should also listen to their concerns.

Rashid Alvi raised questions on communication gap in Congress

Congress leader Rashid Alvi has raised questions regarding the communication gap in the party. He said on Sunday (January 25) that the lack of an effective platform for dialogue and limited access to the top leadership has created a communication gap within the party.

It is not so easy to meet Rahul Gandhi – Rashid Alvi

Senior leader Rashid Alvi said that it is not so easy to meet Rahul Gandhi. Talking to IANS in New Delhi, Congress leader Rashid Alvi said that as far as Naseemuddin’s resignation is concerned, it is a matter of concern. BJP always accuses Congress of Muslim appeasement, and the result is that the Congress party is continuously ignoring the Muslim leadership.

Congress is continuously ignoring Muslim leaders – Rashid Alvi

He said, “Shakeel left the party in Bihar, Naseemuddin left in UP, Roshan Baig left in Karnataka. Muslim leaders have not left the party out of greed for power. It is a matter of concern for these leaders to leave the party. The Congress Party should be worried that the Muslims of India vote for the Congress and the Congress Party is continuously ignoring the Muslim leaders.

Faisal Patel, son of late Congress leader Ahmed Patel, has created a stir in the political circles by talking about starting a new group separate from the Congress. He has also said that his sister can also join him. Now his sister Mumtaz Patel has given her reaction regarding this. Refuting his brother’s claim, he has denied any intention of becoming a part of any new political party.
Mumtaz Patel wrote on social media platform My brother’s views and decisions are entirely his own. Please don’t involve me in this. Thank you.”

Just to clarify…I have no plans to join any new political party or be part of any new initiative. My brother’s views and decisions are entirely his own. Please do not link me to this. Thank you

What did Faisal Patel write?

The screen short of the social media post of Ahmed Patel’s son Faisal Patel is going viral. In this he has written, “I am thinking of breaking the Congress party and forming a new group. This party will be named Congress (AP). My sister Mumtaz Patel can also join it.

Mumtaz also raised questions on Congress leadership

Recently, after the defeat of Congress in Bihar elections, Mumtaz Patel had raised questions on the party leadership. He had written, “No excuses, no allegations and no introspection. Now is the time to look within yourself and accept the truth. How long will the countless loyal grassroots workers, who have remained with the party through all difficult situations, wait for success?” He also alleged that due to concentration of power in the hands of a few people, they are completely cut off from the ground reality and are responsible for the repeated defeats of this old party.

A few months ago, Faisal Patel had also praised the Modi government at the Center and said that the country is in safe hands. However, during this time he had also said that he was not angry with the Congress and had taken a break for a few days from public life. It is noteworthy that late veteran leader Ahmed Patel was among the great strategists of Congress. He had won the Lok Sabha elections thrice from Bharuch, Gujarat. He was also a member of Rajya Sabha for almost three decades. He died of corona infection in the year 2020.
