Prime Minister Modi’s recent comments about the Congress manifesto have been widely condemned as Islamophobic and divisive. In a speech, Modi accused the Congress of planning to snatch mangalsutras from Hindu women and hand them over to Muslims. He also referred to Muslims as “those who breed more children” and “infiltrators”. These statements are not only offensive and hateful, but they are also false. The Congress manifesto makes no mention of confiscating mangalsutras, and there is no evidence to support the claim that Muslims are planning to take over India.
Modi’s rhetoric is a desperate attempt to polarize voters and distract from his government’s failures on the economy, unemployment, and inflation. The Indian economy is in a shambles, with unemployment at a record high and inflation rising. Modi has no solutions to these problems, so he is resorting to fear-mongering and hate speech to win votes.
Modi’s comments have been widely condemned by opposition leaders, civil society groups, and religious leaders. They have called on Modi to apologize for his statements and to stop using hate speech to divide the country.
It is important to remember that India is a secular country, and that all citizens have equal rights, regardless of their religion. Modi’s comments are a dangerous attack on India’s secular fabric, and they must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.
