By-elections are being held on the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in Kerala. Today (11 November) is the last day of campaigning. Here Congress seems to be surrounded on the issue of Jamaat-e-Islami. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is constantly targeting Priyanka Gandhi.
He has claimed that the Jamaat is supporting Priyanka Gandhi. At the same time, Priyanka Gandhi retaliated and said that the election should be on the issue of development. There should be no attempt to divert attention from the issues.
Priyanka Gandhi is in the electoral fray for the first time.
Voting is to be held on Wayanad Lok Sabha seat on 13 November. Here the election campaign will end on Monday evening. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been an MP from this seat. In this Lok Sabha election, he won from Wayanad and Rae Bareli. However, later he resigned from the Yanad seat. Now his sister and Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is contesting from this seat for the first time.
Ruckus over Jamaat-e-Islami's support
During the election campaign of CPI candidate Mokeri, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had accused the Congress that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is contesting the election with the support of Jamaat-e-Islami. Jamaat-e-Islami is supporting Priyanka Gandhi as an organization.
He had said, "The Wayanad by-election has completely exposed the secular mask of the Congress. Priyanka Gandhi is contesting the election in Wayanad with the support of Jamaat-e-Islami. What is the stand of the Congress on this? The country knows Jamaat-e-Islami. Does the ideology of this organization match with democratic values? What does the Congress want to prove by refusing support."
Priyanka Gandhi had retaliated.
Congress candidate Priyanka Gandhi retaliated on this statement of CM Pinarayi Vijayan. "They should not try to divert attention from the issues. Elections should be fought on issues. Leaders should talk about development issues during elections."
While speaking to CM Pinarayi Vijayan, he said, "What have you done for Wayanad? You should talk about this. You should talk about those issues which affect the common life of the people. We should talk about issues like inflation, development, and unemployment.
Know what is Jamaat-e-Islami
This organization gives priority to Islamic law and Sharia. Some people consider it fundamentalist. Critics believe that this organization promotes religious division and fundamentalism in the society. This organization advocates the implementation of the principles of Sharia. Jamaat-e-Islami is also accused of using religious sentiments for political gain.
