“It was 7% in January 2014, while today it is 9% and by 2017 end it will go upto 11%,” Naqvi said at the Minority Youth Sammelan, organised by the Delhi unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The party workers also paid tributes to former education minister Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and former president APJ Abdul Kalam.

“Congress gave a regime of loot and scams for 10 years and Delhi, like entire country, voted for clean administration in the country and the Modi government has given a corruption- and- fear free atmosphere in the country. Be it emperor of Saudi Arab or people of Afghanistan, all have decorated PM Modi with their national awards,” said Naqvi.

Naqvi said that he will take the benefits of Central government schemes to the doors of minorities by organising Progress Panchayats.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave his Diwali to people of Kashmir, but today we feel sad that youth of Kashmir are being misled. It is time for minorities from all over India to create an atmosphere to make Kashmiri youth aware to stay away from terror elements,” he added.
