Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday called upon youth not to tolerate appeasement politics while reiterating Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remark that India’s Muslims did not want the partition.
Speaking at News18 Rising Bharat Summit, Shah said that PM Modi rightly said that Congress leaders at that time and their appeasement policies were responsible for partition.
“Everybody knows that when Muslim League contested elections before partition on two nations theory. Muslim League was defeated in Pakistan as well. Muslims did not want partition. PM Modi rightly said that Congress leaders at that time and their appeasement policies were responsible for partition,” he said.
“I want to say to youth that they should not tolerate appeasement and it should be thrown out permanently. Those who do politics of appeasement don’t care are against country’s interests. They compromise country for vote bank politics…. The country got rid of politics of caste and appeasement under Modi ji,” he added.
When asked who were those Congress leaders, Shah said, “Nehru was made the prime minister.”
Addressing Rising Bharat Summit on Tuesday, PM Modi said the politics of appeasement is not a new tactic used by the opposition. Drawing a parallel with the Partition of India in 1947, he alleged that the Congress had grabbed power through it during India’s independence.
“Politics of appeasement is not new. Many countries got liberated, but is there any country whose freedom happened with partition? The two-nation theory was not the decision of the common Muslim, but the Congress got power by politics of appeasement; but the question is what did the Muslims get from it?” he asked while delivering the keynote address on Day 1 of the Rising Bharat Summit 2025.
Shah said that the new Waqf law represents everyone from Muslim community.
