India’s opposition has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of making Islamophobic remarks after he claimed his opponents would distribute people’s wealth to ‘infiltrators’ if they won power. During an election rally in Rajasthan state, Modi alleged that the Congress party’s manifesto said it would ‘take stock’ of the gold women traditionally save in India and redistribute it, suggesting that Muslims have the first right over the nation’s wealth. Opposition leaders have criticized Modi’s comments as divisive and a ploy to divert attention from their performance in the elections.
