Indian politicians are often accused of using hate or intimidation to win support of the electorate. But if my victory comes without the support of Muslims, then I will not feel good,” Gandhi told a gathering during a campaign rally on Friday. Maneka Gandhi’s former husband Sanjay Gandhi was the son of former premier Indira Gandhi, who was assassinated in 1984. Sanjay was instrumental in a compulsory sterilisation programme during the 1975 to 1977 “emergency” when his mother and prime minister Indira Gandhi suspended all civil rights. The BJP member’s previous comments include calling upon Hindus to produce four children and grow faster than the Muslim population.
