Another example of how Congress is at least as communal as any other party..

EC notice to Imraan Kidwai
Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: The Election Commission has issued notice to Congress Minority Cell chairman Imraan Kidwai for his alleged inflammatory speech asking Muslims not to go with the Bharatiya Janata Party as it would amount to committing “kufr” (infidelity or blasphemy).
The Commission, which went through the copy of the speech made near the Jama Masjid in Chandigarh on March 15, in the notice on Friday, said the statements were violative of the Sub clauses (1) to (4) of Clause (I) of the model code of conduct. It would also amount to promoting enmity between different groups on the grounds of religion and making speech prejudicial to the national integration and was punishable under Sections 153A and 153B of the IPC and Sec. 125 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.

This is not a surprise to most people and therefore, there won't be much hue and cry from the BJP or other parties. However, the silence from the so-called secular parties such as the Left is deafening. Again, not a surprise though since they are not going to affect their muslim vote banks by saying anything now..
