Narendra Modi will destroy Pakistan in 6 months

Mumbai: Narendra Modi today appeared to condemn virulent anti-Muslim remarks by one-time associate Pravin Togadia, but his party finds itself entangled in a new episode of hate remarks.

At a rally in Mumbai yesterday, just a few minutes before Mr Modi arrived, a leader from the Shiv Sena said to the large crowd, “”Narendra Modi will destroy Pakistan within six months if he comes to power.” The remarks by Ramdas Kadam are the latest in a series of comments by hardliners that are threatening to over-shadow the election.
