MODI’S REMARKS Ignite Controversy: Accusations of Hate Speech During Campaign

— India’s main opposition party, the Congress, has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of using hate speech during a campaign rally. Modi called Muslims “infiltrators,” leading to significant backlash. The Congress filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India, arguing that such comments could worsen religious tensions.

Critics believe that under Modi’s leadership and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), India’s commitment to secularism and diversity is at risk. They accuse the BJP of fostering religious intolerance and occasionally inciting violence, although the party claims its policies benefit all Indians without bias.

In a speech in Rajasthan, Modi criticized the Congress party’s previous governance, accusing them of favoring Muslims in resource distribution. He warned that a reelected Congress would reallocate wealth to what he called “infiltrators,” questioning whether it is right to use citizens’ earnings this way.

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge condemned Modi’s comments as “hate speech.” Meanwhile, spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi described them as “deeply objectionable.” This controversy comes at a critical time during India’s general election process.

At a Rajasthan campaign event, Modi criticized the Congress party’s past governance for prioritizing Muslims in resource allocation. He suggested that if re-elected, Congress would redistribute wealth to those he termed as “infiltrators,” questioning whether citizens’ earnings should be used in this way.

Congress party leaders have condemned Modi’s statements as divisive and dangerous. Mallikarjun Kharge called them “hate speech,” while spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi labeled them "deeply objectionable.
