Ahmedabad, 4 September, 2011

While attending a function organized by Ajmeri Education Trust in Ahmedabad to give away scholarships to Muslim students, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today said he loves Sufi Islam. He said if Sufi Islam was there existing in Jammu and Kashmir, the situation could not be there what it is now.

Shri Modi told Muslims that they have been treated not as humans but as vote-bank throughout the years by politicians. “When election comes, they make you happy and praise you, but after the election you leave you to continue to stay in hell.”

“It is our misfortune, and you people are cheated highest, and I don’t know for how long you would continue to be cheated,” he said.

Modi said why Prime minister speaks from Red fort on 15th August using the labels such as Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Isai. Instead can’t he simply say my dear countrymen?
