Modi denies accusations that he discriminates against minorities...

The claims of discrimination against religious minorities in the nation have been rejected by prime minister Narendra Modi as "usual tropes" spread by people "who don't bother to meet people outside their bubbles." prime minister Modi implied that these accusations of prejudice do not align with the realities that minorities themselves face in an interview with US Newsweek magazine. India's minorities, including Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, and even micro-minorities like the Parsis, are "living happily and thriving in India," according to the prime minister. According to him, government measures are designed to provide fair distribution to all individuals, regardless of community or geographic obstacles.

"In terms of programs and activities, our government has developed a novel saturation coverage strategy for the first time in our nation. The American weekly cited Modi as adding, "They are not limited for a group of people belonging to a particular community or a geography." He claims that every one of these programs—from housing to financial aid and healthcare—to sanitization, water availability, cooking fuel, and cooking fuel—is painstakingly crafted to ensure that there is no chance of prejudice. Since they are intended for everyone, there can be no discrimination because of the manner they are made. Regardless of his community or religion, every individual is getting access to these services, which include housing, restrooms, a water connection, cooking fuel, collateral-free credit, and health insurance, he said.

In an extensive interview published in the magazine with the heading "Narendra Modi and the Unstoppable Rise of India," the prime minister—who is running for a rare third term in office—discussed the criticism of eliminating Jammu and Kashmir's special status as well as the border dispute with China. In order to rectify the anomaly in bilateral interactions, Modi stated that the "prolonged situation on our borders" must be addressed immediately.
