Indian Muslims in Britain criticise invite to Modi

The Muslim forum, in a letter to Gardiner, stated its objections to Modi's politics concern his “fascist traits in politics and government, not his personal lifestyle, which incidentally is also not above board”.



“Modi has refused to condemn the attack on Muslims; he has instead focused his efforts on denying relief and assistance to the victims," Zeena said.

"He has polarised Gujarati and Indian society along religious lines, leading to social and commercial boycott of Muslims, walls separating Muslim and Hindu areas in cities and towns and 'Muslim-free' villages," Zeena said.

"There are still tens of thousands of the displaced during 2002 living in shanty towns and temporary refugee camps too afraid to return to their homes and villages,” he added.
