After the incident of lynching in Dadri for allegedly eating beef, widespread criticism started across India. A few days ago, two ministers of the Modi government spoke for Muslims. But Narendra Modi finally broke the silence despite not making any comments for so long. Fearing that sectarian differences will come to a head due to the Dadri incident, Modi called upon Hindus and Muslims to unite. He made this call at an election rally in Bihar last Thursday.
Narendra Modi said that in a democracy everyone has the right to speak their mind. Hindus must decide whether they will fight against Muslims or against poverty. Similarly, the Muslims also have to decide against whom they will fight. Hindus not against poverty? He also said that both the parties have to face this poverty together. The whole country should be united. He also commented that communal harmony, unity, brotherhood and peace will take the country forward. News from Indian news media NDTV.

Our civilization has promoted diversity, tolerance, pluralism for ages. It is these values that have bound us together for centuries.' He said, 'Many ancient civilizations have fallen. But it is because of these values that Indian civilization has survived despite successive invasions, long periods of foreign rule.'
