The Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday lashed out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his remarks that the Indian Union Muslim League is a completely secular party. BJP leaders alleged that the Kerala party is guided by the same mindset which was behind Mohammad Ali Jinnah's All India Muslim League, PTI reported.

"These are the same people who had stayed back after partition. They formed the Muslim League here after partition and became MPs. They advocated for Sharia law, wanted separate seats reserved for Muslims. They are the same people who are part of the same Muslim League. It is Rahul Gandhi and the Congress that sees Hindu terrorism but feels Muslim League is secular," PTI quoted Union minister Anurag Thakur as saying.
