LUCKNOW: During his two day visit to Lucknow to boost the Congress workers Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi urged to go whole hog into the election campaign with a missionary zeal. He also advised them to completely ignore negative media reports.
“Just do not pay any heed to whatever the media says. Even if they say that Congress is losing, do not react. What is important for you is that you must not lose your focus and determination, which needs to be backed with hard work. Then nothing can stop us from winning,” he said.
Earlier Saturday night, Rahul Gandhi suddenly slipped out of the VVIP guest house and ventured into a couple of villages on the outskirts of the state capital, where he walked into homes of Dalits and other poor villagers.
Congress general secretary also called on All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) chief Maulana Rabe Nadwi. He also met the board president, Maulana Rabe Hasan Nadvi on Sunday in connection with the ongoing discussion about keeping madrassas out of the Right to Education. Maulana Nadvi is also the rector of Nadwatul Ulema, a leading Islamic seminary.
Rahul Gandhi had an hour-long meeting with Nadwi, who also heads the Lucknow-based Nadwatul Ulema Darul-Uloom, one of Asia’s leading schools of Islamic studies. The visit came close on the heels of his Saturday address to party functionaries, to whom he gave a categorical assurance about the central government’s decision to provide reservations for Muslims.
"Rahul's show of initiative to speak directly with the board chairman could mean that a solution is in sight," said a Nadwatul Ulema source. The issue figured prominently during the one-hour meeting between the Amethi MP and Maulana Nadvi, said sources.
