Srinagar, April 27 (KNS): Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Saturday alleged that the Congress party's manifesto is influenced by foreign forces and aims to divide the nation on the basis of caste and region.

Addressing an election rally in Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur, Anurag Thakur said along with the hand of the Congress, hands of foreign forces are also visible who want to give children's property to Muslims, finish the nation's nuclear weapons and divide the nation on the basis of caste and region.

He said that the Congress is surrounded by “Tukde, Tukde” gang and their ideology has been hijacked.

“You have to decide whether you want to go with Congress' 'Tukde-tukde' gang or Narendra Modi who believes in 'Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat'. You have to decide whether the children's property should remain with them or should go to Muslims. We gave all rights to Muslims, equally but we did not give it based on religion, we gave it because it was their right,” he said.

He added that the Gandhi family framed laws according to their convenience and based on their appeasement politics. (KNS)
