Mr Modi is making global headlines!
FT: Narendra Modi increases anti-Muslim rhetoric in India election campaign
ft.com/content/43a6d2…
"...deploying some of the most extreme language of his decade in power..."
Modi not only lies and pits one community against the other, he preys on the vulnerabilities of India’s poor
Sample this:
“…if there is a box in your home in which you store bajra grain, even that would be subjected to an X-ray.”

"A large swathe of Hindu India applauds and approves of Modi’s bigotry and does not care that their prime minister, after a decade in power, is given to deliberate misinterpretation, religious incitement and outright lies."

A huge number of voters, mostly Muslim, were going to Karimganj to cast their vote.

The prime minister is peddling falsehoods about Muslims.
We have debunked these claims in our book. And we have made short videos like this one, also available in Hindi. Read, watch, share.

Overheard in newsroom: Please plan and conclude your election travels at the earliest, never know which constituency gets an “unopposed” parliamentarian.

Fwiw: The Congress manifesto doesn’t mention Muslims even once. It doesn’t promise wealth redistribution to Muslims, or to anyone. The PM’s statement is built entirely on a bed of lies.

This is the kind of vandalism that Kashmir is witnessing in the name of development. A beautiful avenue of poplar trees at the entrance to Amar Singh College in Srinagar chopped down. A scene of manmade disaster. Shame on those who allowed it to happen
First, they constructed a high masonry wall, when the plain chain link fence was transparent and looked good. Now this disaster, wish someone would get fired for this act of vandalism. How could they do away with the poplar avenue???
