US scared of Modi becoming PM: Shiv Sena

Mumbai: The Shiv Sena Monday said the US was "scared" at the prospect of BJP leader Narendra Modi becoming India's next prime minister.


An editorial in Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamana said the US recently expressed concern that if a Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party government attains power in India, "the minorities, Muslims" would be crushed.

The editorial, a rare one commenting on international political issues, hit out at the US, saying that India was a sovereign democratic republic.

"Who has given the US the right to speak about its election and internal matters? The US has no business commenting on the country's internal matters, we are capable of handling them."

Calling the US "a self-proclaimed global policeman", Saamana cited reports saying America has appointed an international human rights protection panel to keep a watch on India's political developments and was attempting "to instil fear" in the minds of Indian Muslims.
