Ahmedabad,September 18:From being branded as current day Hitlers Modi wants a total chane in people specially muslim thinking about his personality,Since 2002 bloody riots which claimed 2000 plus muslims lives its seems Modi is being haunted in his dreams of his own Image of a leaders sitting quitly sipping coffee when gujarat was burning.Behind Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s speech was a carefully choreographed effort by his party in the state to mobilise minorities for his show and tell.

Modi greeted and hugged Muslims, many of whom admitted they had been asked to wear skull caps and burqas by their local BJP leaders. “The men were asked to wear skull caps and women were told to wear burqas,” said Abdullahkhan Babi, who had come with his wife from Mehsana, one of the worst-hit districts during the 2002 Gujarat riots.

Dressed in a salwar-kameez, Babi’s wife, Zaheda, added: “They asked the women to wear burqas but we don’t, so there was no point in making it obvious. Even our men don’t wear skull caps all the time.” The couple, who came with a group of BJP minority morcha members, said a local councillor had arranged their trip.

In its ad in an Urdu daily from Hyderabad, the State Information Department, which Modi heads, even referred to his fast as “roza”. “Aapko mera salaam, aapka shafiqana nek tamannaon ke bal par main aaj se sadbhavana mission ke sath roza upvaas ka aagaaz kar raha hoon,” said Modi in the ad. (My respects to you. Encouraged by your kind, compassionate good wishes, I have embarked on this sadbhavana mission and fast). Incidentally, the word “roza” refers to fasting as prescribed by the Quran for believing Muslims, the Urdu word for “upvaas (a fast)” is “faaqaa.”
