Keegan Matheson on Blue Jays, Baseball Memories, and More | SaltWire #writer #torontobluejays #mlbNEW DELHI - Suhel Mansuri, who carries scars from Hindu-Muslim riots that killed dozens in his district of India's capital in 2020, says his vote on Saturday in national elections was for"peace and brotherhood" as divisive religious rhetoric rises.
Rhetoric focussing on religion and inequality has dominated much of India's massive seven-phase vote running through June 1, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party faces accusations of targeting minority Muslims in its campaign. "I want to vote for peace and brotherhood. It's difficult that the BJP will garner any votes here," said Mansuri, in a thought echoed by voters in Mustafabad, including some Hindus.
Sabir Ali, 42, a Muslim tailor, said Modi's speeches are just political rhetoric."But if he thinks Muslims will vote for him despite these speeches, then he is mistaken."
