Senior Congress leader CK Jaffer Shareef supports Mohan Bhagwat for Presidential post
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shareef said, "I personally feel nobody should find fault with Mohan Bhagwat's name being considered for President."
His letter came days after the Shiv Sena proposed Bhagwat's name as the next President.
Praising the RSS Sar Sangh Chalak, Shareef said, Bhagwat is committed to upholding the constitution of India and . "...there should not be any doubt about his patriotism, love for the people of India, loyalty to the nation and commitment to the Constitution of India and to the democracy."
He also recalled that the RSS had supported the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi after the Bangladesh war in the 'national interest'.
"As a Muslim and a person belonging to minority community of India, I feel that the minorities should not have any fear or crisis of confidence in Mohan Bhagwat's name being considered," the former Railway Minister said.
