The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) on Monday, April 16, said it would support the Janata Dal-Secular in Karnataka assembly polls rather than directly contesting the polls.
"We want a non-Congress and non-BJP government in Karnataka for qualitative development," MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi told the media.
The Hyderabad MP said if necessary he would address public meetings in support of the JD-S headed by former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda.
New Delhi, Feb 24: A book on the history of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will become a part of a course in the Islamic University of Indonesia, as the party’s two consecutive victories in India’s general elections has evoked interest among academicians, a faculty member said.
The book, titled Bhartiya Janata Party — Past, Present & Future, Story of World’s Largest Political Party and written by Shantanu Gupta, will become a part of the syllabus for undergraduate students of South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.
Hadza Min Fadhli, a faculty member at the university, said there was a rising interest in the BJP’s rise among academicians in Indonesia, especially after the party won two general elections in India.
He said the book would be part of the syllabus for undergraduate courses in South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.
Mr. Hadza said he got to know about the book during a recent visit to India as part of the Kautilya Fellowship programme, organised by the India Foundation. “We in Indonesia intend to further strengthen our relations with India. Therefore, it is important to understand its ruling party. We expect the BJP would also intend to do the same,” Mr. Hadza said.
When asked about the book being selected to be a part of a course in an Indonesian university, Mr. Gupta said global recognition of his work is immensely satisfying.
This book chronicles the history of the BJP which, Mr. Gupta said, described the saffron party as the latest political manifestation of the various nationalist movements that the country has seen.
Mr. Gupta has authored five other books, including a biography of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and a book on football in India.
Stupidity of faculty.
They should know the reaction of Malaysians to BJP's attrocities.
When Malaysia outright knows BJP's agenda, they reacted.
This decission of Indonesian faculty shows clear stupidity and his mental stability.
God give wisdom to Indonesians
