Modi Seeks Electoral Victory through the Persecution of Muslims and Destruction of their Masajid and Homes
By Musab Umair – Wilayah Pakistan

Indians cast ballots in the last phase of the country’s staggered elections on 1 June 2024, in an electoral exercise that began on 19 April 2024. Modi is the sitting prime minister of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, led by his party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The opposition is the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A) led by India’s largest opposition party, the Indian National Congress, which previously dominated politics and ruling for decades, until the rise of the BJP.

The electoral politics of Modi depends on fanning sectarian hatred against Muslims, throughout his political career. Whilst Chief Minister of Gujrat in 2002, Narendra Modi, oversaw the slaughter of over two thousand Muslims. On 1 March 2002, at the height of the slaughter Modi asserted that, “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction (Har kriya ki pratigriya hoti hai).” Subsequently, as prime minister he has overseen the destruction of masajid, demolition of homes of Muslims and mob attacks on Muslim communities.

Modi’s BJP is using sectarian hatred to disguise the huge wealth disparity and severe poverty in India. In the 2023 Global Hunger Index, it is stated that, “India ranks 111th out of the 125 countries with sufficient data to calculate 2023 GHI scores. With a score of 28.7 in the 2023 Global Hunger Index, India has a level of hunger that is serious.” [1]. As for the gap between the rich and the poor, on the research paper of 12 March 2024 entitled, “Income and Wealth Inequality in India, 1922-2023: The Rise of the Billionaire Raj,” highlights that inequality “began rising and has skyrocketed since the early 2000s,” whilst adding, “By 2022-23, top 1% income and wealth shares (22.6% and 40.1%) are at their highest historical levels and India’s top 1% income share is among the very highest in the world.” [2]

Although the opposition alliance is counting on Modi’s failure towards the poor, and his persecution of minorities, to win, it stands little chance of doing so. Asides from his divisive politics, Modi has the full external support of the United States. In a way that is somewhat similar to its stance with Netanyahu, the Biden administration stops at condemnation of Modi’s oppression, whilst giving ample room to Modi to continue his war on Muslims. On 20 May 2024, when the US State Department Spokesman, Mark Miller, was asked about a New York Times investigative story titled “Strangers in Their Own Land: Being Muslim in Modi’s India”, which describes how Muslims raise their families and children with fear and uncertainty, he replied, “We have engaged many countries, including India, on the importance of equal treatment for members of all religious communities.” [3]

Certainly, Modi has earned the support of the Americans, by securing the key American interests in the region. Despite the abject poverty in his country and lack of societal cohesion, Modi has thrust India into an expensive confrontation with China, in order to secure the American interest to contain and confront China. In line with American policy, and in coordination with the American agents within Pakistan’s leadership, Modi is actively working to make a regional bloc against China, with India as a head and Pakistan as a subordinate junior. For their part, the rulers of Pakistan are working hand and glove with Modi, despite their war of words. Thus, the rulers of Pakistan restrained the armed forces of Pakistan, when Modi forcibly annexed Occupied Kashmir in August 2019. They even declared Jihad as treachery, stabbing the mujahideen of Kashmir in the back, and granting the cowardly Hindu State army much needed relief. They are now ensnaring the Pakistan Army in a long war with the Muslims in the tribal regions shared by Pakistan and Afghanistan, giving even more relief to India. It is expected that after elections, the American agent Modi, with the American agents in Pakistan, will increase economic ties, under normalization.

O Muslims of Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Kashmir! It is upon us to halt Modi’s tyranny and the American plan to suppress Muslims and Islam. Why must we violate our Deen, surrendering our inviolable sanctities, to make way for people of Falsehood and Misguidance? We are an honorable people that are inheritors of a remarkable legacy. It is an Islamic legacy that began at the time of the Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate), culminating in Islam’s dominance of the Indian Subcontinent. It was in the era of ruling by Islam that the Indian Subcontinent’s share of the world economy was 23 per cent, as large as all of Europe put together, rising to 27 per cent in 1700, in the time of Aurangzeb Alamgir. Centuries of Islamic ruling ensured prosperity and security for the region’s inhabitants, regardless of their race or religion, earning their loyalty, including the Hindus. Indeed, the Islamic era was a golden age that shone its light upon the rest of the world, drawing the unwanted attention of the greedy colonialist powers, who sowed the seeds of communal division to divide and rule. So, let us all work earnestly to re-establish the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood so that the Indian Subcontinent can rise again under the mercy of Islam.
