Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a roadshow in New Delhi ahead of the Bharatiya Janata Party national executive meeting, Jan. 16, 2023.ndian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged members of his ruling party to reach out to Muslims and other religious minorities, a rare move to tone down sectarian tensions as he prepares to host the Group of 20 summit later this year.
The leader told senior members of his Bharatiya Janata Party that “nobody should be excluded, regardless of whether they vote for us or not,” said Syed Zafar Islam, a party spokesman, in a phone interview.Modi’s comments Tuesday, were made at a two-day meeting of the party’s national executive committee in New Delhi to discuss general elections due next year, where he is hoping for a third straight victory. A slew of state ballots are also due later this year.
The Indian prime minister has sought to present the country as a force of unity as it takes on the G-20 presidency. However, the South Asian nation has seen rising anti-Muslim sentiment as Modi and the BJP have pushed ahead with their Hindu nationalist agenda since first coming to power in 2014.
“We follow the principle that every citizen is equal and should be treated as such,” said Islam. “With that, PM Modi has stated that no one, including Muslims, should be left out.”
