In this episode of ‘Editorial,’ Mr. Sujit Nair addresses recent statements made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who sought to clarify his earlier comments on Muslims. On Tuesday, PM Modi explained his remarks about “”infiltrators”” and families with many children, emphasizing that he was referring to all poor families, not just Muslims. He asserted that if he ever engaged in Hindu-Muslim politics, he would consider himself “”unworthy of public life.”” In an interview with News 18, PM Modi stated that he does not aim to gain votes through demonstrations of love for Muslims, saying, “”I do not work for a vote bank. I believe in Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.”” He questioned why people assume that his comments about larger families refer exclusively to Muslims, pointing out that poverty often correlates with having more children, regardless of religion. He added, “”I have said that one should have as many children as you can take care of. Don’t let a situation arise where the government has to take care of your children.”” PM Modi also reflected on his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat during the post-Godhra riots, claiming his opponents tarnished his image among Muslims after 2002. He shared personal anecdotes about his upbringing, surrounded by Muslim families, and participating in their festivals, to highlight his long-standing connection with the Muslim community. Despite these experiences, he lamented the damage to his reputation post-2002.
