Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee working president T.N. Prathapan has approached the Chief Election Commissioner against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his alleged violation of the Model Code of Conduct during an election campaign rally in Rajasthan.
“The Prime Minister’s inflammatory and hate-filled remarks targeted at the Muslim community not only undermine the spirit of democracy but also pose a grave threat to communal harmony and peace of the country,” he said.
In his speech, the Mr. Modi equated the Muslim community with ‘infiltrators’ and propagated anti-Muslim tropes, there by spreading hatred and division among the electorate. His remarks such as the Opposition would distribute the country’s wealth among the Muslims based on their religious identity were not only false but deeply prejudicial, he alleged.
