According to Uttar Pradesh BJP Minority Morcha president Basit Ali, the party's outreach will specifically target maulanas and madrasa students, encouraging them to participate in the yoga sessions. These camps aim to create engagement and promote wellness while simultaneously highlighting the Modi government's policies within the minority community. As part of the broader effort, the Morcha is also launching a campaign titled 'Alpsankhyako ka ye paigaam: Modi ke saath Musalman (Minorities' Message: Muslims are with Modi)'. This drive, focused on building a better understanding and support among Muslims, will roll out across major cities in Uttar Pradesh. The main event is scheduled to take place in Lucknow on June 12 and will include participation from members of the intellectual community, including doctors, teachers, engineers, and lawyers. 'To mark the 11 years of Prime Minister Modi's governance, the party will organise programmes in all 403 Assembly constituencies, specifically targeting 403 madrasas across Uttar Pradesh. These events will involve maulanas, madrasa students, and local community members, beginning with yoga sessions followed by district-level programs,' Basit Ali told IANS. One of the standout components of this campaign will be the initiative 'Desh Ka Paigham, Pratibha Ko Samman', which will honour high-achieving individuals from the minority community. This includes meritorious students and those who have become IAS or IPS officers or contributed meaningfully to the country's development.

Commenting on the media report on X, BJP IT department head Amit Malviya said, "This is Fake News." The BJP has no plans to use either Col Sofia Qureshi or Wing Commander Vyomika Singh as campaign faces, he asserted. "The comments made by BJP Minority Morcha president Jamal Siddiqui have been misconstrued. He simply made a limited point about highlighting Col Qureshi as an example of an empowered Muslim woman within the community," Malviya said.
