Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reignited the debate over Muslim reservations by sharing an old video, around 10 to 12 years old, of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi promising a quota for Muslims. This move comes ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, with Modi accusing the Congress party of appeasement politics. Union Minister Anurag Thakur also criticized Congress, claiming that the party has taken away quotas from SC/ST and OBC communities, reducing them by 5%, to give them to Muslims. Rahul Gandhi's recent remarks about the system being aligned against lower castes have further fueled the controversy, with Modi referring to Gandhi's statement as an admission of Congress's historical policies. Modi referred to Gandhi as 'Shehzada' while making these accusations. The political debate continues to intensify as both parties prepare for the upcoming elections.
