Modi not a political untouchable for Muslims: prominent Shia cleric
A prominent Muslim cleric has said Narendra Modi is not a political untouchable for the minority community and can get their votes if he shows that he cares for them. Maulana Kalbe Sadiq, one of the country's tallest Shia clerics, said today, "I am not the custodian of all Muslims. But If I see that Modi is making changes, then I will back him. I can't say this for all Muslims, but I will personally back him. My religion says that (if) any criminal expresses regret then we should overlook the mistakes. What he did was wrong, but if he is willing to change, then we are also willing to change."
