Adding to his party’s list of bizarre demands, Syed Asim Waqar, leader of the Islamic political party All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen, has asked all states to appoint Muslims as Deputy Chief Ministers (CM). The Muslim leader has skillfully made this demand just before the Uttar Pradesh State elections, to polarize the electorate.
Waqar asserts that other political parties, such as the secular Congress and the socialist Samajwadi Party, must put forward their views on this issue. Waqar has expressed disappointment in politicians who approach the Muslims for votes but grow apprehensive when Muslims demand a Muslim Deputy CM. He complained that the Muslims were not given the promised 12% representation in 2012, and proclaimed, “We will definitely snatch away the Deputy CM post from them. You will have to make a Muslim the deputy CM of the state.” He also claimed that it’s only a matter of time before political parties agree to give the Deputy CM position to the Muslims. That this democratic post should be reserved for Muslims only is a fanciful idea that abolishes the very principles of democracy and secularism on which India is predicated.
Anyhow, what we must ponder is this: why is it that after 70 years of independence, a Muslim politician wants a special privilege for Muslims in a democratic state? It is not because India has denied them participation in the federal structure.
The Islamic rule in India that lasted for several centuries was marked by large-scale religious conversions and orchestrated mass massacres. When the British decided to leave, the man who became the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, demanded an Islamic country for his people, and his demand was met. Unlike the Hindus, who were forced to leave the Islamic provinces of Pakistan and East Pakistan (present-day Bangladesh), a large number of Muslims chose not to relocate to Pakistan, and stayed back in India with assurances of safety and equality extended by the leaders who were leading the country at that time.
Muslims in India, from the genesis of its democracy, were appointed to key positions in the government. India’s first-ever Education Minister was Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, who was born in Makkah. He was home-schooled and self-taught. The Indian education system doesn’t recognize these concepts, but cordially extended the education ministry to a Maulana whose proficiency was in Islamic studies, the Quran, the Hadith, and Sharia. He had also learned other contemporary subjects from tutors hired by his parents. This should explain why the Islamic invasion in India has been glorified in school textbooks and invaders been introduced as great emperors.
Eminent Muslim personalities have been voted into the highest office of India, that is, the President’s office, multiple times; Zakir Hussain, Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, and A. P. J. Abdul Kalam have served as President, and Mohammad Hidayatullah served as acting President for a limited time as well.
Despite Muslims being honored with the title of the First Citizen of India, several political leaders from the community have repeatedly played the victim card. After enjoying two consecutive terms in the capacity of India’s Vice President, Mohammad Hamid Ansari went on record lamenting that Muslims were being victimized in the country, and that there was a feeling of unease and a sense of insecurity growing among them. When challenged on a televised interview and requested to substantiate his claim, Hamid Ansari grew angry.
Muslims have had ample representation in state-level politics in India as well. Firhad Hakim, despite receiving a great deal of criticism for allegedly referring to a Muslim-dominated area in Kolkata as “Mini Pakistan,” became mayor of that city in West Bengal. In March 2021, this title was passed on to Khaled Ahmed. After the minority-pandering All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) won the recent elections, several Muslims were included in the cabinet. There are 32 Muslim Members of the Legislative Assembly in Communist-ruled Kerala, and the newly-elected Tamil Nadu government has adequate representation from the Muslim community as well.
Then what is it that triggers Syed Asim Waqar to demand a default Muslim in the significant position of Deputy CM? Is he trying to work toward Islamic rule in India indirectly by seating Muslims in key positions regardless of their fitness? Is it a jihad through the ranks? A “Ghazwa-e-Hind” of sorts? Waqar hails from the Islamic political party whose leader, Akbaruddin Owaisi, made this communally-charged and highly-condemned statement: “If police are removed for 15 minutes, we (Muslims) will finish 100 crore Hindus,” not once but twice.
Given that the Indian police bows to the respective state governments, how sensible would it be to have a constitutional office reserved solely for a Muslim, with the merit of the minister in question notwithstanding? The unreasonable demands of politicians such as Waqar never end; the more you serve them, the more they crave. This is not unique to the Indian polity. This is a universal trait. Unfortunately, no first-world country is intellectually equipped to put an end to these perpetual demands.
Jillian says
This is what every free democratic nation should expect. In time they will ILLEGALLY occupy and conquer every nation.
This blindness must end. Islam is not compatible for democracy and should be banned in every free nation.
OTTER says
India will unravel before its 100 years of independence because of Muslims. So unbelievably sad. Islam makes Muslims monsters everywhere.
Infidel says
You make a good point. Swami Yati – that priest at that Ghaziabad temple whom the muslims have targeted for a beheading – stated that if you look at India’s youth – 25 and under – that India is a muslim majority country, and by 2029 will have a muslim prime minister. Once that happens, India would become the world’s largest jihadist country, and w/ a population that matches China’s (or even exceeds them since Pakistan and China would be happy to join them at that point), would threaten the rest of the world. As you note, it’d be incredibly sad b’cos at that point, our only alternative would be to obliterate them w/ nukes
Infidel says
Pakistan and Bangladesh, not China
gravenimage says
India is about 15% Muslim. This is *deeply* concerning, but it does not indicate that it is going to be Muslim-majority in seven years.
Infidel says
Graven
He wasn’t talking about the total population. He was talking about the young population below a certain age, and there, he was claiming that muslims are a majority. In other words, if one theoretically kills off everyone above a certain age in a country, what remains is their population N years from now. This is obviously more pronounced in Europe, particularly Norway and Sweden, but in India, according to him, Hindus are in danger of getting outnumbered
If India flips and goes muslim, that would add another billion or so to the current world muslim population. At that point, islam will be far more aggressive than it’s ever been: just multiply Pakistan by 10 and you’ll get the idea. And it was in Pakistan that al Qaeda really derived its power: now imagine the entire subcontinent being a base for jihad. Nothing short of nukes will stop them!
gravenimage says
Infidel, I realize that the Muslim population in India is growing faster than any other group, but I still have been unable to find anything that supports your assertion here. Citations?
Istvan Vogel says
What a great idea. In the name of equality, shouldn’t every Moslem country have a Jewish or Christian deputy Minister?
Mohini says
I’d like to smack him hard and send him packing to Pakistan.

Ponder no longer. The reason is: mozlums are bound and determined to take over….completely…every corner of the earth. Every tiny corner. For islam. For control of the earth’s population in the name, and for, satan the devil.
mozlums want to control the population in order to control speech, activities, food, drink, thought, worship or none, and in order to do that, they ***demand*** to have a big part in the nations’ governments. Once they are in the governments, they make decisions based on their filthy belief system that is rife with evil…no good, no value, no virtue…just evil filth.
No more pondering is necessary once one understands the **end goal** of mozlums.
john smith says
Yes Somehistory, that’s exactly what they intend to do, to take over every tiny corner of the earth. Yet most of our leaders and political elites are totally blind to this, they just don’t see it, they just don’t get it. These blind fools such as Angela Merkel, Justin Trudeau, and now Joe Biden are aiding and abetting satan in our destruction. islam is slowly but surely engulfing almost every western nation, and while such leaders are in power it will be impossible to turn the tide.
I hate to say this, but at the moment islam is winning hands down.
somehistory says
Remember, John Smith, what Jesus said during some of His final time with His disciples, “In the world you are having tribulation. But take courage! I have conquered the world (John 16:33).”
His murderers thought they were winning…and it probably looked pretty bleak to His Apostles and the other disciples. But, He conquered, even death itself.
We who believe can take great courage in this “time of the end.”
john smith says
I recognize just how knowledgeable you are on biblical scripture, and to have such knowledge is a blessing.
Whether you are a believer or not, if you have studied the bible you cannot deny just how accurate the prophets have.been. Take comfort from their words, because as you know this evil will be eventually defeated.

Very true. Sounds like something from Stephen Covey’s, The 7 habits of highly effective people (1998)
2 – Begin with the end in mind
somehistory says
Thank you, James L. I have never read from Stephen Covey. Not that I can recall, anyway. When I have time, I should check it out.
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Somehistory.
I don’t think this is what the civilized Stephen Covey had no mind, though, James…
James Lincoln says
Agreed, gravenimage.
I took the whole Stephen Covey course back when it first came out…
gravenimage says
I’ve read the book, James. Good stuff. I like his emphasis on values and integrity.

Well, let’s face it, Muslims want the whole world. They are out to take over the entire world and every non-Muslim can get lost, so it is no surprise when they make demands like this piece of nonsense. There is no getting along with islam and the sooner that the whole non-Muslim part of the human race realise this fundamental truth, then the sooner non-Muslims will be able to deal effectively with the followers of that foul ideology, islam. Islam is full of megalomaniacs who are always out to impose Islam on all of us. Ultimately, that’s all that Muslims live for and all that they have ever lived for throughout Islam rotten 1400 year history.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Tim Gallagher- A brutal and inhumane approach, but I believe the Communist Chinese have already come to that conclusion.
tim gallagher says
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness, I loathe that regime in China and it is a huge danger to Australia, where I live, and to all other countries. But the ferocious way that the Chinese regime is treating the Muslims there, I imagine, might be in response to Muslim terrorist attacks in China, which I can vaguely remember hearing about. A lot of people are really up in arms about the way the Chinese regime is treating the Muslims there, including many conservative commentators in Australia who I pay attention to, but, since I do believe that Islam is an evil ideology, I can’t get too worked up about it. I loathe both islam and the vicious and very thuggish Chinese regime which has been give Australia a very hard time, on the economic front, lately. I felt the same when the Burmese threw their Muslims out and people got very upset about it. Again, I thought that they had probably got fed up with the usual trouble Muslims always cause. I like the Hungarian idea of shutting Muslims out and avoiding all the trouble they always bring to any country that lets them in. Keep Islam out, that’s my solution to Islam’s malevolence.

India: Muslim politician demands all Deputy Chief Minister’s offices be reserved for Muslims
………..
More trying to impose Shari’ah on India. India *should* tell him to take a flying leap.
Kashyap says
Is it secular to reserve based on religious identity?.
Kashyap says
India was divided based on religion at the demand of Muslims. These Muslims in India stayed in India on their choice. Now these guys want special treatment for them in India.Well it is typical Muslim mindset.
Kashyap says
One of the ways to curb demographic changes through Jihad is to deny secular rights to Muslims in secular states because Muslims have theocratic Islamic states. Reciprocity is an accepted international practice.
