Modi's campaign speech targeting Muslims is 'ugly' but 'consistent' with Indian PM's rhetoric

India's main opposition party accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of using hate speech at a campaign rally, when he called Muslims “infiltrators" in an incendiary address. Irfan Nooruddin from Georgetown University, Washington DC, notes that while Modi's speech over the weekend was particularly incendiary and "ugly", it was consistent with his rhetoric on India's minority Muslim community.
