Indian Muslims and ‘ Tactical voting’- Dr.M.K.Sherwani

Indian Muslims and ‘ Tactical voting’- Dr.M.K.Sherwani


Indian Muslims and ‘ Tactical voting’
*****************************
As everybody knows that ‘tactical voting’ is the  term coined for Muslims’ voting pattern, being following since decades. It signifies ‘voting for  an individual candidate, irrespective of party, who is in the best position to defeat B.J.P.’
       I do not want to challenge the wisdom of those  who will follow the same practice in the 2014 Parliamentary elections. Anyhow, I would request  the persons or organizations who will be issuing the appeals in favor of an individual candidate or party , with the exclusive aim of defeating B.J.P., kindly to make the following declaration  along with the said appeals.
 
“ I ………s/o……r/o…… hereby appeal to the Muslims of ……,constituency  to vote  for .……..of……. party or independent, because according to our survey, he or she is in a position to defeat B.J.P.
 
“ I make a solemn promise in the name of Allah to the  Muslims of this area that if the candidate  or party who wins with their ( Muslims’) vote ,changes the  loyalty, or supports, directly or indirectly, B.J.P. or N.D.A. after elections, I shall first hold a protest at the residence of the concerned candidate or party leader, and then come to the area, and throw myself open to the Muslims for any treatment , they would like to give me."
