New Delhi: Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday (February 11) said while commenting on the ongoing Hijab row said, Congress has entered politics of polarisation and it seems like Jinnah's soul has entered into the party.
"They (Congress) say it's right to open madrasas, opening Muslim universities is right, they also say it's right to wear hijab," said Sarma.
Assam CM further added, "Sometimes they (Congress) say that India isn't a nation but union of states. Hearing all this makes one feel if Jinnah's soul has entered into Congress."
Attacking further at Congress Party, Assam CM said, Hijab issue is generated by the Congress Party as it politicises the Islam religion for its own good. "It's only right for their politics of polarisation to end. I think it'll end to a large extent after elections in the five states," he said.
