Indian PM Modi's rally remarks on Muslim minority spark accusations of hate speech

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been accused of making Islamophobic comments during a rally, triggering widespread anger from Muslims and members of the opposition. Mr Modi said if the opposition Congress is voted back into power, it would distribute citizens' wealth among what he called "infiltrators" and "those who have more children", explicitly referring to Muslims in India. The world's most-populous nation is in the midst of a six-week long election, in which Mr Modi is expected to secure a rare third consecutive term. Priyata Brajabasi reports from New Delhi.

The world is islamophobic including Singapore it self...why didn't you keep the Rohingya muslims, those who came by boat to Indonesia and Singapore? Do you have any answer or you wanna target only mr modi ?

[arnavsingh]

Manmohan singh said "especially muslims should have first right on resources " and that is not acceptable

[sooriapragass]

Muslims are second majority in India and not minority

[Astor-nvsg]

Muslims are the second largest Majority in Inida!!..

and only until the current demographics continue, India will be a parliamentary democracy, once it is tipped over 50%, India will be another Lebanon, which was once known as Paris of the middle east. The rest is history.

Singapore if u r so concerned of muslims in India why not u give them shelter in ur own country

[ruchiverma]

We Indians are United 🇮🇳✌️ but Mosi and his gang is trying to divide us on the basis of religion and castes

[holypunk]

Former Mr Manmohan Singh did mention in his 2006 speech that first right on countrys assets goes to minorities and especially Muslims ! Will Singapore endorse such policy ?!!

[Spr-nooy]

There is no widespread backlash, we Indians do understand the Congress.partys intentions....appeasement of.minoritiea at the expense.of Hindus

Does the CNA newsroom want to distribute their CPF to Rohingya's or house them in their BTO?

[shivanishukla]

1) no I'd card
2) no passport card

Only victim card

[nasx]

Bro is acting like the most intelligent guy and he is the biggest fool india has ever seen as a prime minister

[kartikpandit]

France is seeing the spate of violence from muslims and modi knows how to tackle this menace

[ArabicReja]

Reasons for Muslim Uyghur detention in one of 380 Xinjiang camps in China 🇨🇳 include:
- having a beard,
- wearing a veil,
- applying for a passport,
- possessing a Quran,
- praying,
- downloading WhatsApp and
- having too many children.

[surendervasudevan]

He just said infiltraters and more children producing people, , if CNA referring it to muslims , what we can do ?

[bztzbzi]

Iam still wondering, how can a PM say this.

[pratikpatil]

I was earlier going vote BJP but with this comment by PM changed my opinion. I need to rethink this now
He has lowered the dignity of the post of prime minister..Shameful

[manishgurav]

As soon as Modi Ji took the name of intruders, the entire INDI Alliange gang went into a state of panic. Everyone started feeling that Modi's earlier spirit has started to awaken, if he comes back in his earlier form then these people's pants will start getting wet...

[mrinal]

Any citizen of any country should have equal share for all community, Here minorities(one of the largest in the world) are given subsidies, in every sector.

[KIRUTHUOLI]

Has the bjp, ever in this 2024 campaign detailed or at least said about its achievements? No . Bjp is lost.

Modi shares all government wealth to adani
