Maulana Kalbe Sadiq, one of the India’s most prominent Shia clerics has said Narendra Modi is not a political untouchable for the minority community, and can get their votes if he shows that he cares about them.
Maulana Kalbe Sadiq praised Modi for “good development” in Gujarat and said, “People should be given a chance to correct their mistakes. Modi should make changes in his policies and programmes to convey that he is concerned about the welfare of Muslims. If he does that, Muslims can consider voting for him.”
Maulana Sadiq is the vice president of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and a noted scholar. He is widely respected for his progressive views, and his word could cause a stir in the community.
