Minorities are “flourishing” in India and are an equal partner in development without discrimination under the Narendra Modi government, Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said on Tuesday, trashing the ‘Islamophobia’ charge as an attempt to defame the country.
The “Modi Bashing Club” is frustrated as its “nefarious and fake, false, fixing factory” has been “comprehensively exposed before the people of the country,” he wrote in a blog.
The Minority Affairs Minister said the Modi government never planned development on the basis of religion, region and caste.
The senior union minister also said that “not a single riot took place during about past five years of the Modi regime”, attributing the recent Delhi riots to a message circulated during Shaheen Bagh protests to defeat this success. “There is not a single incident of discrimination against any section of the society,” he wrote
According to Naqvi, the priority of the Modi government has always been the poor, weaker, needy and deprived sections of the society.
