‘Ugly speech’ but not a surprise: Modi accused of anti-Muslim rhetoric on campaign trail

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s campaign speech over the weekend calling the country’s Muslims “infiltrators” has sparked an outcry ahead of the second phase of the multiphase vote. But while Irfan Nooruddin from Georgetown University concedes it was incendiary, he notes that it comes as no surprise.

Again French Media Interferences Indian Politics.

The speech is neither ugly nor surprising... because Modi did not make a hate speech against Muslims.. Modi was just exposing the appeasement politics nature of the opposition

[Jackshaikh]

Now you talk about this in france media. It's like a international achievement for the BJP and for the Modi alone. If you think you criticizing India democracy then you are wrong it's a BJP India making progress on international level according to BJP hard core followers.

Nothing wrong in what he said . Truth is bitter, and some times truth has to be told on the face

[rayshankarchandrasekaran]

Why Manmohan singh need to used for islam community particularly he just can finish of by saying minorities or marginalised minorities? It shows they want their votes 🗳 to bank in more to control india 🇮🇳 🙄

[alien]

I don't know Modi but he sounds based.

[GuruKhatri]

First ECI should book Congress and Rahul Gandhi for saying they want to destroy Shakti.

[swargiary]

What about French colonizing african nation till date

[manassetua]

It is a "ugly" truth PM told about the Congress party and their appeasement of a specific "minority".

[zuckthebetacuck]

Mr. Modi stated blunt facts and he's right. Why should the resources of India go first to a particular religious group first? Why should the opposition party be given a pass on saying that Muslims comes first and the rest last in modern India? We are no longer under the Mughal's empire anymore.

How is that muslim nationalism is o.k. but not hindu nationalism. Is this the charecter of western colonial masters?

[aneeshktk]

If France wanted Muslim from India then we are ready to give 18crore Muslim to France.. And enjoy your life.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[incrediblephoenix]

Here all the people are commenting funded by Government so called IT cell😂😂

[EuroTravChannel]

I prefer not to share house or apartment with anyone from India. In my lengthy and repeated experience, there is always the hygiene issue. While the PM can say that, I was banned from a major website for saying so.

[flyhigh]

French media tired of Russia's winning in Ukraine. So, they are diverting to Indian politics

[fgvwqoe]

French should keep their lecture to themselves, Modi said the right thing

[FabShukla-qdeu]

Professor Irfan Nooradin says that Indian Constitution of 1950 has Secular word which never existed. It was added in Emergency by Indira Gandhi / Congress in 1976. Please also talk about of Book followed by Prof Irfan..

[manishgurav]

Three versions:
1. Rahul Gandhi YT channel: Muted "Hindustan ka Dhan"

2. Telugu Popular TV: Cropped out "Financial survey" & beneficiaries line (Why?)

3. Manotolivelugu Tv : no edit, mute or crop, all words can be heard

Intentions are same & dangerous!

Most Muslims can never be impartial in their analysis.i wish some times they would talk about the the oppression of majority of Hindus in India. They will never support any other religion.
