INDIAN opposition figures have united to condemn Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he attacked Muslim citizens as “infiltrators” in an incendiary speech.
Complaints have been filed with the Election Commission over the speech, since electoral rules ban candidates from provoking religious tensions.
Speaking in Rajasthan on Sunday, Mr Modi railed that when Congress — the biggest opposition party, which led most governments from 1947-2014 — was in power “they said Muslims have the first right over the country’s resources,” and that if it is returned to office it “will gather all your wealth and distribute it among those who have more children... distribute it among infiltrators.
