خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أعلن "ميراج خالد نور" - الناشط الاجتماعي المسلم في "الهند" - اعتزامه خوض الانتخابات البرلمانية منافسًا المرشح الهندوسي "ناريندرا مودي" - مرشح حزب "بهاراتيه جاناتا" - مشيرًا إلى أن ترشحه يأتي لمنع مرشح "بهاراتيه جاناتا" من إحداث انقسام بين المجتمع المتعايش سلميًّا.

India’s ‘Ben Laden’ Challenges Modi

Popularly known as Bihar’s Osama Bin Laden, Muslim social activist Meraj Khalid Noor has announced his plans to contest in the running general elections, contesting from Varanasi against Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi, the prime minister candidate of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

"I have decided to contest polls against Modi from Varanasi," Noor, who is president of Ram India (Rashtriya Awaami Movement), a newly floated political outfit, told IANS news agency on Friday, April 18.

"After much thought I decided to fight against Modi," Noor said.

Noor, a young man from Bihar, has campaigned the election for Lok Jana Shakti Party in Bihar elections. He later associated himself with Lalu Prasad Yadav and his political party Rashtriya Janata Dal.

"I campaigned in the 2004 Lok Sabha polls for Paswan and in the 2005 assembly elections for Lalu," the businessman-turned-politician said.

Noor asserted that both leaders "used him" for their own political gains, as they used to introduce him as "Osama bin Laden" at election rallies.

Feeling manipulated, Noor said that he has decided to float his own group, Ram India, to take the fight for continuation of communal harmony in the society.

He said that it is not a question of win or loss in the polls but "our aim is to not let a divisive force take root in the holy place of Varanasi known for brotherhood between Hindus and Muslims."
