Rahul's statement on Muslim League based on Congress's experience: All India Imam Association

The Indian Union Muslim League (M) on Friday welcomed Rahul Gandhi's statement that the Kerala-based party is completely secular, saying the Congress leader's assertion came from his party's experience. IUML general secretary P K Kunhalikutty claimed that the state leadership of the BJP has admitted the role of the Muslim League in guiding Muslims on the right path when many tried to mislead the minority community post-demolition of the Babri Masjid three decades ago. "Rahul Gandhi's statement that the Muslim League is a secular party is based on his party's experience. We look at it with great responsibility. The Muslim League's close relationship with Congress dates back to the days of Indira Gandhi," said All India Imam Association president Sajid Rashidi.
