Correct. It should not be used as a platform for muslim bashing. As a matter of fact, muslims in Gujrat are prdominantly 'trading community' and enjoying excellent relationship with hindu customers. They want peace as all businessmen do. Muslims in Gujrat are culturally and economically well developed. But they are politically weak in terms of vote percentage. It is 'CONGRESS' who makes 'muslims' an election issue in Gujrat all the time as they do elsewhere. This time also when election campaign was intiated on development plank, Congress supporting media started writing dilution in hindutva agenda. Further congress president came out with a phrase "maut ka saudagar' - merchant of death, thus bringing muslim issues into campaign debate. Anyway, I do agree with 'Abbas Ramani' that election is election and it should not be considered as an occassion for 'community bashing'.
