The Hindu Hate Monger

For making inflammatory statements against Muslims

If there is support for Narendra Modi among the middle class this election, it is because he has sought to bid his campaign on development and efficiency. But this support will evaporate if the Hindu hate monger raises his ugly head. In the past few days, BJP leader Giriraj Singh and Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Pravin Togadia have delivered highly inflammatory statements. Singh said those who do not vote for Narendra Modi will have to find a place in Pakistan. Togadia, who reportedly exhorted Hindus in Bhav- nagar, Gujarat, to force a Muslim businessman to vacate a house he had bought in a Hindu locality, thundered that if Muslim property owners don’t relent in 48 hours, they should be assau- lted with stones, tyres and rotten tomatoes. Such hate mongers only communalise elections and stoke fear among minorities.
