Addressing an election rally, Prime Minister Modi said that the opposition, if it comes to power, wants to distribute wealth to "those who have many children."

This was considered a statement against the Muslim minority, since Muslim families have more children.

Modi did not stop there and said that wealth would be divided between those with many children and “infiltrators,” thereby again hinting at Muslims.

“Their previous government said that Muslims have the first right to the wealth of the country,” Modi said.

India's Central Election Commission rules prohibit politicians from appealing to voters on the basis of "caste" and "communal sentiments." Activities that “may exacerbate divisions, create mutual hatred or cause tension” between religions are not permitted.

The Modi government is often accused of singling out religious minorities, especially Muslims, in a negative way.

The head of Indian Muslims, Asaduddin Owaisi, said: “Modi today called Muslims infiltrators and people with many children. From 2002 to this day, Modi's only guarantee of getting votes is to insult Muslims."

It is worth understanding that the “Muslim minority” in India is 230 million people. In total, almost one and a half billion people live in the country. Last year, India overtook China to become the world's most populous country.
