BJP is no longer untouchable for Muslims'



n an attempt to bring Muslims into its fold ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, a brain storming session of senior saffron party leaders would be held at Hyderabad next month to chalk out a comprehensive strategy.
"BJP is no longer untouchable for Muslims and they will have no problems under the leadership of L K Advani," senior BJP leader and party's national president of the minority cell Shahnawaz Hussain said.

He said a three-day meeting of senior leaders of the party would be held at Hyderabad from April 3 in which a comprehensive strategy would be chalked out to bring the Muslims into the party fold.
Although Hussain remained non-committal when asked whether the saffron party would field more Muslim candidates in the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls, he did say that "religion will not come in the way of ablity to win".
