Divisive talk
It is unfortunate that the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has twisted the utterances of his predecessor Dr. Manmohan Singh. Mr. Modi has even gone to the extent to say that the “‘urban Naxal’ ideology of the Congress would even deprive the women of their auspicious mangal sutra” (Page 1, “Cong. will hand private wealth to Muslims: PM”, April 22). What a blatant attempt to divide the people in the name of their community, creed and religion!
One really wonders why the Election Commission of India is remaining a mute spectator over such unparliamentary thought being delivered by the Prime Minister of India, who is supposed to be the representative of all Indians belonging to different communities and religions. One really dreads to think of the fate of the minorities, particularly Muslims, if the BJP-led NDA retains power.
