It
started when Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) targeted the opposition leader Rahul
Gandhi for calling Congress a "Muslim party," during a meeting with
Muslims leaders and activists. BJP accused Gandhi of trying to get minority
votes ahead of the 2019 national election.
The
Congress leader rubbished the claims but the politics over the Hindu-Muslim
divide in led to the hashtag #TalktoAMuslim.
