'It Is Their Hypocrisy': Aaditya Thackeray On BJP's 'Saugat-e-Modi' Campaign For Muslims In Country

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will reportedly distribute special gift kits to around 32 lakh underprivileged Muslims across the country during Eid under its "Saugat-e-Modi" campaign.

Shiv Sena MLA and former Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray has responded to the BJP's plan, calling it hypocrisy. Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Aaditya said, "It is their hypocrisy—what they do is correct, what others do is wrong. Somebody goes to Pakistan to watch a match, it is correct, but what opposition leaders in our country do is wrong."

According to reports, the campaign aims to ensure that poor Muslim families can celebrate the festival of Eid without any hardship.

BJP’s 32,000 Minority Morcha workers will collaborate with an equal number of mosques across the country to distribute the gift kits, as per reports.

The National President of the BJP Minority Morcha, Jamal Siddiqui, told news agency ANI that during the holy month of Ramadan and upcoming occasions like Eid, Good Friday, Easter, Navroz, and the Indian New Year, the Minority Front will reach out to those in need through the "Saugat-e-Modi" campaign.
