The Narendra Modi thread

[Shunya]

I think his Delhi rally speech is the best ever so far... uncanningly similar to how Gujaratis have heard all these years...Powerful saade chey karodd...turned into sava sau karodd :P

probably the best for me as well. Absolutely nailed it on the point of PM marketing India's poverty in front of Obama.

Hopefully this turns the equation in Delhi in BJP's favor. :)

Dehati Aurat & Modi ... a report from Dawn

Remarks attributed to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, but denied by his team, almost derailed the first summit meeting between Indian and Pakistani leaders in three years. The report, filed by a private Pakistani channel, claimed that Mr Sharif had called Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh a “village hag†while having breakfast with the channel’s anchor. Members of the Indian media team started using the report soon after it ran on the Pakistani channel on Saturday and tried to coax Indian officials into commenting on it. They refused to oblige, saying that such reports did not deserve official attention. But BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi disagreed with them. Addressing a huge election rally in New Delhi, Mr Modi said Mr Sharif’s description of the Indian prime minister was an insult to India. He called it “a serious issue†and urged Mr Singh to reconsider his decision to hold a peace meeting with Mr Sharif. “How dare you say this?†Mr Modi said, raising his voice. “What right you have to say this?†Mr Modi said that while he was willing to take on Mr Singh within the country, he would not tolerate any attack on the Indian prime minister by a foreigner. “There can never be a greater insult to the Indian PM. There cannot be a greater insult to India,†he said of Mr Sharif’s reported remark. And as the crowds roared, Mr Modi added: “We will not tolerate any insult to India.†His remarks came hours before the Singh-Sharif meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The BJP leader said Mr Sharif’s description of Mr Singh as a “dehati aurat†had caused him great grief. BJP’s election rally forced Indian officials to notice the dispute and agitated Indian journalists as well. “Very unfortunate,†said Seema Sirohi, an Indian journalist who had come to New York to cover the summit meeting. “You do not make such remarks about another country’s prime minister.†Another journalist, Lalit Jha, said the remarks attributed to Mr Sharif were “extremely unfortunateâ€. Both journalists, as well as others, however, said they believed the remarks were falsely attributed to Mr Sharif. “He cannot make such remarks hours before a crucial meeting,†Ms Sirohi said. Some Indian journalists suggested that the anchor filed this report because Mr Singh had refused to give him an interview. By 10am, when the two teams arrived at the hotel for the talks, the atmosphere had cleared a little. Indian officials were heard saying that they had checked with Pakistani officials who said that Mr Sharif never made those remarks. “Obviously, not,†said a Pakistani official, “the prime minister cannot and did not make such irresponsible remarks.†Some Indian journalists said the remarks were probably promoted by those who did not want better relations between India and Pakistan. One Indian journalist raised this during the official briefing on the summit, asking the Pakistani foreign secretary if the remarks aimed at derailing the talks.The foreign secretary said the anchor had already withdrawn the remarks, falsely attributed to Mr Sharif. Fortunately, Mr Singh also decided to ignore Mr Modi’s demand and went ahead with the meeting.

Also add where are the Hindu victims in the riots? It's been 11 years and yet never a word or mention about that at all. As always' date=' certain things are non existent and irrelevant to these pseudo seculars. Really seems like victims is only associated with one community?[/quote'] Huh? how many hindus were displaced who are now living in camps? Isn't this obvious, when the whole government and powerful people are taking care of them, why do they need more help? On the other hand the muslims are still living in poor conditions in camps. When then entire government is so pro-hindu in everything they do, its obvious the hindu victims are being taken care of very well. If they were not, then you would hear about it

[CSK Fan]

What à bluffmaster this man is! Thank you for opening my êyes

Once again absolutely no reply to the points raised in the article but one liners. Modi fan boyism has gone beyond even sachin worship in India

[CSK Fan]

Yes it's interesting that no one seems to gaf about Hindu victims of pogroms for a millennia. The Moplah rebellion isnt that old, no one talks about it,in Godhra Hindu pilgrims were burnt to death , everyone analyses the aftermath till Kingdom come but not the cause. Pseudo seculars are the vile 5th column that just need to fade.

Nothing pseudo about it. Its the case with any minority anywhere. The majority by being a majority can always take care fo themselves. Yes there were hindu victims in Godhra but just see the aftermath. The amount of support which poured in for those victims, the aftermath whivch killed 100s of times more muslims. This happens with every minority in every civilized coutnry, be it blacks, gays or religious minority. Majority do need to bend over backwards to have a prosperous country. Tha majority can always take care of themselves just because they are in the majority. They have the advantage of numbers, which always helps, whether its for electing people or pass their writ. Minority appeasement is a major part of keeping any country peaceful As for the cause of all those attacks liek Godhra, isnt it obvious thats exactly what our enemies want, to divide us into a thousand pieces. This is clearly indoctrined in the ISI policy too. Yet what do we do? Instead of acting smart and taking care of our weakest links (religious minorities, dalits, etc), we blame them and play exactly into our enemies hands

What's this hotshot doing in Delhi while his state is suffering from severe flooding ?

Exactly my thought too. He should remember wherever he is, it is due to his governance in Gujarat. The moment he is going to ignore his own state, he will be a nobody in indian politics. He do not have a family name also backing. Enough of the speeches.Would like to know what is he doing for disaster management in his state. A hint for Modi haters, you need not deep dive into statistics for criticizing Modi or dig someones biassed article. Ask basic questions :) may be that would help.

If they were not, then you would hear about it[/quote'] Silly post as expected. You firstly even acknowledge that there were Hindu victims? And thus 2002 wasn't about Muslims themselves and about time, this incorrect information gets corrected. Next, do some proper research as a lot of Hindus were affected as well as their properties. And then don't present your opinions as facts like obviously this and that because I told you so. But I guess you can't be fixed as for you and plenty of others, you make your decisions based solely on Muslims representation.

And this is exactly pseudo secularism. You firstly categorize victims on their religion. And then, only one religion matters for you. And as always , you purposefully made up some "facts". There is enough enemies in our own country whom should be addressed for us to live as a united country and perhaps this pesudo issue should be the start. Some of the comments seems like Pakistan talking about minority rights. There is absolutely no self-check or sense and yet, talk about all other states and issues.

Honestly, I prefer Tendulkar worshipers to NaMo-onas. Pro-article reaction : Great article, waah waah, what a orator, Bharat Maata ki JAi, Modi should be the next PM. Con-article reaction : Sill article, no substance, congressi goon, pseudo secular, 1984 riots, Gandhi from Italy, Pappu Nautanki.

To be a great informed democracy, neither of them will help us. I am seriously beginning to get similar feel to how Imran was built up by his fanboys. Of course, I will not compare Modi and Imran. One of them had a track record. But it is always useful if one can practice what one preaches. Rarely happens though.

[G_B_]

exactly modi has a track record of governance which Imran just does not have. your talking about a man who has been reelected in his state many times.

^How can majority take care of themselves after having been burnt to death? If the retribution later is called taking care of, then focusing more on the aftermath itself defines how biased one can be.

Not to mention just recently in Muzzafarnagar, Congress leadership chose to visit only the Muslim victims , afterall those Jats sure had it very good even though it was they who were the actual victims.

So what do you think should have been done in aftermath of Godhra Train burning ? Am sure according to you either the whole burning incident should have never been made public or brushed away as an accident to keep the " Peaceful minority community " safe and secure .

Media should have never been allowed to make it public.
