Has Prime Minister Narendra Modi Done Anything for Muslims?

The performance of any Prime Minister, be it Narendra Modi or any other, should be assessed based on the measures and policies they undertake to benefit the nation as a whole, rather than focussing on any particular community unless the issue has national importance. This assessment is crucial for characterizing the actions taken as patriotic or anti-national.

Specific Actions on National Issues

While these schemes and initiatives are a part of the broader national agenda, they are not limited to any specific community. Here are some specific actions:

Democratisation of Currency (Demonetization): The move to remove high-value currency notes from circulation aimed to tackle black money and corruption. Goods and Services Tax (GST): Simplified and unified the tax structure to boost the economy. Surgical Strike at Uri: The operation against terrorist camps; it was a military action to deter future attacks. Balakot Strike at the India-Pakistan border: A counter strike following a terrorist attack on an Indian military camp. India-Bhutan Border Standoff at Doklam: A military standoff to assert territorial claims. Education Reforms: Introducing changes to the education system to meet the demands of the 21st-century skill requirements. Agriculture Reforms: Introducing laws to reform the agricultural sector, benefiting farmers and ensuring better market access. Article 370 Revision: The constitutional amendment to address the concerns over Jammu and Kashmir's autonomy.

Handling of the Corona Pandemic: Implementing strict measures to control the spread of the virus and providing medical relief. Corona Relief Packages: Financial and material assistance provided during the pandemic to support affected families and businesses.

The Matter of Triple Talaq, Ram Janmabhoomi, and Citizenship:

The decision to constitutionally declare the practice of Triple Talaq as unconstitutional has already been made by the Supreme Court. The government is only required to implement this law accordingly.

The Ram Janmabhoomi issue, which is now resolved through the Supreme Court judgment, was a long-standing dispute whose resolution does not indicate favoritism towards any specific community. In fact, no individual or community has been singled out for persecution.

The Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) sought to legitimize Indian citizenship for non-Muslims who had migrated from adjoining Islamic countries faced with religious persecution before 2015. The act does not target Muslims but rather aims to provide protection to those who face religious persecution in their home countries.

In conclusion, Prime Minister Modi and his government have consistently strived to uplift the conditions of all communities in India, including Muslims. Each action taken is aimed at fostering national unity and development, and not favoring or disfavoring any specific community.
