PRIME Minister Narendra Modi, under pressure at home and from abroad, felt compelled to state that “my government will not allow any religious group, belonging to the majority or the minority, to incite hatred against others, overtly or covertly”. Addressing Christians in Delhi on February 17, Modi said, “My government will ensure that there is complete freedom of faith and that everyone has the undeterred right to retain or adopt the religion of his or her choice without coercion or under interference.”
