WikiLeaks reveal that Murli Deora told the US embassy that Indian Muslims care deeply about Ahmedinejad and every single Muslim vote counts for UPA. Deora also quoted Lincoln that “You cannot fool all the people all the time.”
According to the cable, “Deora — an avowedly pro-American Congress insider close to Sonia Gandhi — was explicit that Indian Muslims care deeply about Iran, every Muslim vote will count in upcoming make-or-break State elections in Uttar Pradesh, and Congress needs,every Muslim vote to win.” (para 1)
“Deora insisted the USG could not imagine the strength of support for Iran and Ahmedinejad among Indian Muslims. Muslim groups had put 150,000 on the streets of Mumbai and 100,000 on the streets of Delhi to protest American policy before the President’s March 2006 visit. If Congress loses the Muslim vote, it cannot win. Muslims were traditional Congress supporters, explained Deora, and the Congress-led Government could not avoid participating in the NAM as a result. Quoting Lincoln, Deora said, “You can’t fool all the people all the time,” but Congress was trying hard to do so and avoid electoral disaster as Uttar Pradesh polls loom over the horizon.”
