Milli Council felicitates Nitish Kumar

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: The All India Milli Council has extended its good wishes to the National Democratic Alliance chief ministerial candidate in Bihar, Nitish Kumar, on the Alliance's performance in the Bihar elections. However, it cautioned him "not to succumb to the divisive politics of the Bharatiya Janata Party". In a felicitation letter to Mr. Kumar, the secretary-general of the Council, Mohammad Manzoor Alam, said, "You keep the company of the Sangh, yet you are personally not a malicious or vicious person. This unusual combination is bound to throw up challenges that are not going to be easy to handle."

He said despite serious reservations about the NDA, Muslim voters supported Mr. Kumar in the belief that he would create a model of governance that was not hinged on the Bharatiya Janata Party-Rashtriya Sevak Sangh antipathy towards Muslims but on the principles of fair play, rule of law and supremacy of the Constitution.

Mr. Alam said that under his leadership, Muslims would expect a different model of governance from what the NDA had provided in other States.
