'Doing everything which is against Muslims': Congress leader Rashid Alvi on 11 years of NDA government under PM Modi

Congress leader Rashid Alvi has voiced strong criticism against the NDA government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marking 11 years of its tenure. Alvi accused the government of implementing policies that marginalize Muslims, citing demonetisation and the repeal of Article 370 as key examples. According to him, these actions have not only failed to deliver promised economic benefits but have also deepened societal divisions. Alvi argued that demonetisation, introduced in 2016, disproportionately affected the poor and minority communities, while failing to curb black money or corruption. He further condemned the repeal of Article 370, which granted special autonomy to Jammu and Kashmir, stating that it led to increased unrest and alienation among the local population. Alvi emphasized that such measures reflect a broader pattern of discriminatory policies under the Modi administration. In his critique, Alvi called for a reevaluation of these policies, urging the government to adopt a more inclusive approach that respects India's diverse fabric. He highlighted the need for policies that foster unity and economic growth for all, rather than deepening divides. As the NDA government continues its tenure, these criticisms underscore ongoing debates about its impact on India's social and economic landscape.
