"After Obama's Siri Fort sermon , Modi lerant tolerance lesson" USCIRF report's revelation
New Delhi/Varanasi. Modi was fortunate that he invited his closest friend Barack to attend Republic Day parade on Rajpath and to listen sermon delivered by the guest a few days later at Siri Fort .
USCIRF report (2016) says- "During his 2015 (India) visit, and again in February 2015 at the U.S. National Prayer Breakfast, President Obama made notable remarks on India’s religious freedom concerns. In his speech at a town hall event in New Delhi, and again a few weeks later at the Prayer Breakfast, President Obama underscored the importance of religious freedom to India’s success, urging the country not to be “splintered along the lines of religious faith” and stated that India is a place where “. . .religious faiths of all types have, on occasion, been targeted by other people of faith, simply due to their heritage and their beliefs - acts of intolerance that would have shocked [Mahatma] Gandhiji, the person who helped to liberate that nation.”
And next sentence is Barack's real catch - he turned a Devil into an Angel .
Report says, "In mid-February 2015, at an event honoring Indian Catholic saints, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated publicly, for the first time, that his government “will ensure that there is complete freedom of faith and that everyone has the undeniable right to retain or adopt the religion of his or her choice without coercion or undue influence.” This statement is notable given longstanding allegations that, as Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2002, he was complicit in anti-Muslim riots that occurred in that state."
Lame duck president deserves a Bharat Ratna for this feat .
