There are a lot of criminals among Muslims in India, who have joined the bjp and the so called Muslim wing of rss known as rashtriya Muslim manch. There are no special privileges for Muslims who join this so called Muslim wing. These guys have joined only for power and position and looting tax payers money.

May Allah Visit them all with the severest punishment in this world and the next. Aameen
