In a rare interview with the Financial Times, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphatically denies allegations of discrimination against religious minorities in India, stating, "There is no feeling of discrimination." Modi highlights the economic success of Parsees, describing them as a "religious micro-minority" thriving in India. While the interview avoids explicit mention of Muslims, Modi dismisses critics, saying, "Critics have the right to level allegations, but others have an equal right to respond with facts." Addressing concerns about anti-Muslim hate speech, Modi laughs off questions about his government's alleged crackdown, expressing confidence in disproving doubters, much like historical underestimations of India's potential.
