PM should never have made statements that spread communal hatred: SAD chief on Modi’s Rajasthan speech

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal on April 22 condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks on 'redistribution of wealth' made at a poll rally in Rajasthan, saying he should never have made such a statement which spread "communal hatred".

Addressing a rally in Rajasthan's Banswara on Sunday, the Prime Minister had said the Congress plans to give people's hard-earned money and valuables to "infiltrators" and "those who have more children".

He had said, "Earlier, when their (Congress) government was in power, they had said that Muslims have the first right on the country's assets. This means to whom will this property be distributed? It will be distributed among those who have more children".
