Congress mukti politics

This is apropos Business Recorder editorial "Modi's meanderings" carried by the newspaper yesterday.
According to Mani Shankar Aiyar, "invoking a fake Facebook post, he [Modi] slyly let slip that the dinner was a "secret" conclave to hatch a "conspiracy" with the Pakistanis to make - horror of horrors - a Gujarati Muslim the Chief Minister of Gujarat. Utter rubbish, total balderdash, but a nasty move to establish a salience between Pakistan and Indian Muslims to polarize a crucial election." That hatred against Muslims sells in India is a fact. That is why prime minister Modi through his 'majority is priority' policy is targeting Muslims with a view to re-inventing the wheels of history. Modi must not drag Pakistan into his 'Congress mukti' politics.
