Dadri wrong and divisive, Modi must fight it politically, says Mufti Sayeed

Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed has said in an interview to The Indian Express that there is no “alternative” to Prime Minister Narendra Modi “for the next 10 years”. This is Sayeed’s first interview seven months after he took over as CM. Speaking on the horrifying Dadri lynching, Sayeed said the Prime Minister “must fight” elements trying to create a “communal” atmosphere in the country by “polarising communities”, the report says.

It is divisive, it is polarising communities, and that is not good for the country. It is creating a communal mahaul (atmosphere). There is need to fight this trend politically and the Prime Minister and the whole system has to do it. The Prime Minister, Home Minister, Finance Minister have to control their loose cannons, and fight this administratively and politically,” says Sayeed in this interview.
