    At 1:43 we mentioned Narendra Modi was born in the 'eastern state' of Gujarat. But obviously Gujarat is the westernmost state of India. We apologize for the mistake.

    Why not make a report on minorities in countries like Pakistani, Bangladesh,Afghanistan then lecture Indian policy.

    Mosque at Ayodhya was built after destroying a Hindu temple.
  • @devamjani8041
    That mosque was built by destroying a Hindu temple there, like many other places in India and also other places in the world where islamists got to power. They did the same thing in Israel, turkey ( the part of Greece ), Persia, Mesopotamia, Afghanistan, etc etc etc.

    Irony is media is criticising Modi ji about freedom of media. See the contradiction?
  • @alexsmart2612
    "Eastern state of Gujarat" How did nobody involved in the production of this video catch an error like this before publication? You expect us to take you seriously????
  • @mandeepkataria1
    "at place of a mosque that stood there...". The important detail that the narrator has left out is that, the mosque was built upon demolishing a temple that stood there.

  • Congreess brings Waqf Act, Congress is secular. BJP says Sabka Vikas, BJP is communal.
  • India has a free and fair Judiciary. So if someone is falsely accused they can always get justice from the courts.
