Let's assume for a moment that this is the case. Isn't it still inherently discriminatory according to our constitution? There's nothing harmless about it, it was meant to be inflammatory and it most certainly is turning out that way, this communal flame was stoked to further enlarge their Hindu vote bank or to disenfranchise the Muslims further, or just as a distraction tactic from the economy that keeps deteriorating at an alarming rate. As for your comment about the "left liberals", you don't need to be a liberal to have an independant thought process and view this situtaion objectively. There are plenty of websites that will provide you with pure facts, I suggest you read up. I really don't understand how some of you are advocating for putting a large number of people through misery for an undetermined amount of time, just because you support some political party's ideology.
How exactly is Congress or any other party supposed to win in the coming years when BJP is getting away with all these underhanded tactics to enlarge their vote banks?
