Hebbar R, This is "minorityism" in action. While giving this press conference, I am sure Shariff would have worn, a muslim skull-cap in a strong colour. The problem is Congress is still thriving on "minorityism" to keep the "minorities" psychologically away from the main stream, while milking them as a "vote bank". With talk of "reservations" for minorities also, they are creating the same conditions that prevailed in India from about 1919 to 1947, when the country was partitioned. "Win the next election, do not worry about the medium term and long term consequences" - has been the Congress philosophy since the 1960s. The problem is other regional parties are emulating the Congress tactics, thus you see, Mullah Mulayam Singh, Mullah Ram vilas Paswan (who said only a muslim can be the CM of Bihar) are all playing the same "minorityism" and caste politcs as the Congress. You can see Congress is now bankrupt in new ideas. Their election strategy has been stolen. They have no new or original things to say or do.
