India's Modi calls rivals pro-Muslim as election campaign changes tack
Quick Glance: India's Modi Attacks Pro-Muslim Rivals in Election Shift
  • Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist party have begun attacking opposition rivals, claiming they favor minority Muslims, in an effort to energize their hardline base after the start of general elections last week.

  • Modi referred to Muslims as 'infiltrators' who have 'more children', linking it to an alleged election plan by the main opposition Congress party to redistribute Hindu wealth among Muslims, a claim denied by the Congress.

  • Modi's government has faced accusations of discrimination against India's 200 million Muslims, but has denied them, emphasizing its work for the welfare of all citizens.

  • Modi initially focused on development, welfare, and national pride in his campaign, but shifted focus back to core voters after the first phase, addressing issues of joblessness and rural distress.

Quick Glance: Outrage over India's Modi Calling Muslims 'Infiltrators'
  • India's main opposition Congress party has filed a complaint with the Election Commission accusing Hindu nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi of 'blatantly targeting' minority Muslims in a campaign speech.

  • Modi falsely claimed that a previous government had stated that 'Muslims have the first right over the nation's wealth'. He said if Congress won, 'it will be distributed among those who have more children [Muslims]. It will be distributed to the infiltrators.'

  • The Prime Minister is facing accusations of Islamophobia, and his BJP party has falsely claimed that Muslims have a higher birth rate.

  • Modi's tenure has seen brazen attacks against minorities, particularly Muslims, from hate speech to lynchings. Critics say India's democracy is faltering as the press, political opponents, and courts face growing threats, and Modi has increasingly blurred the line between religion and state.
