The short and simple answer to your "why"s is: "Our Secular scoundrel politician will miss out on the Muslim votes". To them, the nation may go to hell, but they won't curb their greed to remain in power, by hook or crrok. Alas, if the country is no more, who will care about votes, and democratic norms? And we, the secular idiots of Induia, have brought back "Congrees the Cancer" to power!
