Bharat’s Congress-Leftist ‘historians’ have a history of celebrating ‘leaders’ like Maulana Abul Kalam Azad or Jinnahite Begum Aizaz Rasul who mask their Islamist face behind the ‘moderate’ identity they have created for themselves.

Scratch a Jinnahite and one is sure to find an Islamist. While Bharat’s media and Leftist-Congress-Islamist cabal is busy heaping praise on Rasul what they fail to point out or hide deliberately is that she was a supporter of Jinnah and his idea of a separate nation for Muslims. However, like most Islamists, she stayed back in Bharat after the formation of Pakistan, not due to their love for Bharat but to pursue their own agenda. That they were allowed to stay back despite no justification for the same is the biggest travesty of Bharat’s ‘secular’ politics and Gandhi and Nehru’s Muslim appeasement policies.

Begum Aizaz Rasul was a close aide and disciple of Mohammad Ali Jinnah and the biggest woman leader of the Muslim League. The Muslims of UP (Uttar Pradesh) made her win the 1945-46 elections with an overwhelming majority of votes. She had not only supported Jinnah’s demand for Pakistan but also raised the ‘Jinnah Zindabad’ slogan during the 1945-46 elections. Despite this, she did not join Jinnah in Pakistan, a country for Muslims Rasul had advocated for.

The answer to the question as to why she did not move to Pakistan lies in an audio interview given by Rasul in 1997 which has been archived in Oxford University’s research department.

In the interview, Rasul was asked the aforementioned question to which she replied “Muslims living in Indian territory felt that they should help in creating a separate country for their brothers living in Pakistani territory. Jinnah had also said that for this Muslims living in Hindu areas would have to be sacrificed. Millions of Muslims of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar supported the Muslim League because they wanted to give their Muslim brothers a separate country, where they would have their own rule. They sacrificed their lives for this. After all, how could I go to Pakistan leaving millions of Muslims who voted for Pakistan at our behest”.

In the interview, Rasul also makes mention of the ‘government giving in to the feelings of Hindus’ when in fact both Gandhi and Nehru had made Muslim appeasement their agenda. “Even a small knife in a Muslim household meant he was anti-national. He and his family were jailed. We had to look after the interests of Muslims who had voted for Pakistan and the Muslim League due to our appeal”, Rasul says.

The one who was special to Jinnah in 1947, became special to Congress subsequently and the ‘most surprising thing is ‘secular’ politics of Bharat is such that the disciple of Jinnah was awarded the Padma Bhushan in the year 2000 under Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government.

Be it Begum Rasul or Maulana Azad or any other Islamist leader, the fact remains that they always put Muslim interests ahead of everything but a Hindu leader who demands basic rights for Hindus is labelled communal.
