"The condition of Muslims has worsened in the country. The so-called secular parties along with Congress, Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) have snatched away our real heroes from us and we were identified with those who were traitors," Siddiqui said.
"To thwart this, BJP Minority Morcha has started celebrating the birth anniversary of Abdul Kalam," he added. Meanwhile, he honoured eminent and distinguished people of the Muslim community from different areas of Rajasthan at the event.
