Modi’s Message for Hatemongers

He said that equal respect for all faiths is part of the country’s ancient cultural traditions. “And that is how it became an integral part of the Constitution. Our Constitution did not evolve in a vacuum,” he told his audience. The Prime Minister also said that he would not allow anything to disrupt his development agenda. For, hate-mongering, fatwas and pastoral letters will only sharpen social fault lines and undermine the country’s economy and overall well-being. This decisive statement from the Prime Minister is good news and deserves to be welcomed.
