After prayer cap, Modi refuses to wear scarf

Zeenews Bureau

Ahmedabad: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi once again courted controversy on Thursday when he refused to accept a scarf being offered by a Muslim cleric during his day-long Sadbhavana fast being held at Navsari town in Vadodara district.

TV visuals showed a group of people filing past the Chief Minister, while most where only greeting him with folded hands, one Muslim cleric brought a scarf as gift, but Modi draped it only on his hand.

Under the Sadbhavana Mission which is aimed at propagating peace and harmony, Modi is observing a series of fasts across all districts of the state.

Modi, during his three-day fast in Ahmedabad last month, had not worn a Muslim prayer cap offered by a Maulana.

You both are wrong. You are SECULAR only till you wear round white cap or shawl or say aasalam-walekum, float iftar parties,and demand to pardon Afjal and Kasab.The moment you talk about nationalism,or even say Vandematram! You are COMMUNAL!!!

Well Said Dr.Setu.......A shawl is a shawl - muslims do not have a exclusivity over it. But the question remains as what the muslim is acheiving by giving the shawl to Mr. Modi. in my opnion he is just making ways for controversies.

Sadhbhavna mission is sadhbhavana mission.Why shawl comes inbetween to raise unnessary issues.? Let us all work for one-ness of this country without doubting or creating issues to raise friction.The mission cannot be judged by just shawls and caps. It hs to be judged by the performance of the person of a long period of time, which Modi has proved in the last ten years or so.In the history of J+Gujarat there was hardly any period of peace between the two communities as observed during his period.

No muslim will wrap RAAM-NAAMI CHAADAR, then why it is an issue if Narendra Modi is rejecting SHAWL or SKULL CAP? We must be balanced . If we allow someone to pray according to his/her religion , then we must give permission to each and everyone . It menas if Any Muslim is not accepting RAAM-NAAMI then it is not an issue .Same should be applicable for Narendra Modi.

This is with reference to the caption shown on Zee news channel ``Muslim shawl lene se kiya inkaar``. I want to ask the channel to kindly explain what is a ``Muslim shawl``? The British first divided the people of this country into Hindu and Muslim....Some of our so called secular leaders and political parties helped keeping that divide intact....and now news channels are contributing by communalising even inanimate objects like shawls etc. A reputed and responsible news channel like yours is not expected to come out with such irresponsible captions for the sake of TRP.....Deplorable journalism!!!
