you are minor —— one of the most senior figures of the bjp and having a spokesman of the bjp and havingrty for years. you are not an all india political movement. you have to have an 82 bjp mps. —— 282. not one of them, not one of them is muslim. first of all, let me clarify. the people of india have supported us. after 30 years the prime minister was given complete majority. how many votes did you get from muslims? let me explain. i will come to that. we have won elections after elections since we came to power, except three. therefore, we are here not because of charity but because of the love, support of the people of india. i do concede with you that muslims in large numbers do not vote for us, for reasons also because of the sinister campaign against us. no, with respect, they don't vote for you partly because you do not seek their vote. it is quite clear what your politics is about. you are called the hindu nationalist party for a reason because that is precisely what you are. you are not interested in reading to support all the sympathy of muslims. and let us not forget there are

you are coming as a signpost of bjp. that is unfair.about what is happening in grassroots politics across india today. the prime minister is very clear, mr sackur, that we are only for development. and people are voting because of development. and they way india is becoming an economic powerhouse, 7.5% growth rate, the way investment is coming in india, the way india is becoming an it tech power is all an affirmation of the trust of the people that they want development. i do not belittle the economic achievements in recent years in india and we will talk about that. i am happy to know that. but i want to begin with this growing sense i am picking up from many senior figures inside india, and observers of india, that there is something deeply worrying happening in terms of sectarianism, communal fear and hate in india today. amnesty international, in a most recent report, just a few weeks old, said that since april 2017 at least ten muslim men have been lynched or killed in public in suspected hate crimes, much of it to do with what is
