Narendra Modi raps Sangh, BJP leaders for loose talk

Our Constitution guarantees religious freedom to every citizen and that is not negotiable

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that “uncalled for” comments against any community would “not be tolerated” and reiterated that the Indian Constitution guarantees religious freedom to every citizen.

On the completion of one year of the NDA government, Mr Modi assured, “Acche din aa chuke hain (good days are here).” In an interview to a news agency, the Prime Minister said: “Some unfortunate comments have been made, which were totally uncalled for.

Our Constitution guarantees religious freedom to every citizen and that is not negotiable. I have said this before, and I say it again: any discrimination or violence against any community will not be tolerated. My position on this is very clear: Sab ka saath, sab ka vikas.

We stand for every one of the 1.25 billion Indians regardless of caste or creed and we will work for the progress of every one of them.” He was replying to a question: “How will you rein in the elements within the party who are spreading hatred on communal lines.”

Some of the Sangh Parivar leaders including BJP leaders were in news for making controversial remarks against minorities and backing ‘ghar wapsi’ and ‘love jihad’ campaigns.
