Just a discussion. If Owaisi can wear a skull cap, which symbolizes his religion, inside the Parliament then how come Indian PM can't participate in the Bhoomi Poojan?

Also, PM Modi participated in similar events of Mosque and Church as well.

There has been a history where congress held official Iftar parties in their offices and residences.

Further, Secularism means respecting all religions. Modi is respecting hinduism. So how come he violates Secularism policy?

Last point, Indian Secularism does not separates state from religion.

I agree that Indian secularism is different from the usual but an incumbent head of the country must not associate themselves with any religious event, especially one with a bloody history. With power comes responsibility and if the PM of the largest democracy doesn't understand that then they are unfit to sit in that chair.

It's not a big matter...Modi had attended Ayodhya as a citizen not as a Prime Minister of India although...

That's a silly excuse. He has a responsibility as the PM and his actions has consequences. A public servant of that stature unfortunately has no option of being a private citizen during their time in high office.
For example, if a minister was convicted of sexual abuse and he said that he did it in his capacity as a private citizen and not as a government official, should he continue to be in office? Shouldn't he be sacked?

That is your point of view, everyone has different point of view.

Congress Presidents and Prime Minsiters visited their own places of faith when in power, so it's a common thing in Indian politics, plus as said PM Modi has attended Mosques and Church as well.

In 2012 when PM Manmohan Singh had attended Iftar in Mosque there was no mouning of secularism,BUT when PM Modi attended Bhoomi Pooja there is a huge mouning of secularism??
I want a reason just as a citizen not as a supporter of Modi..
Why no secularism mouning for PM Manmohan Singh???

PM Singh did not pursue many discriminatory policies. Modi has pursued discriminatory policies eg CAA etc. Furthermore members of his cabinet have insulted certain races eg Home Minister Amit Shah has called certain groups 'pests'. Moreover, the BJP and allies (RSS, etc) destroyed a mosque to build a temple. The INC did not destroy a temple to build a mosque.

For your information CAA is not an discriminatory policies...
CAA is an policy which allows the minorities from different countries to reside in India.
And my question is Why there no mouning of secularism when PM Manmohan Singh went to a mosque for Iftar in 2012 when he was still pm??

CAA allows everyone except Muslim minorities from SAARC countries to easily obtain citizenship. If such an explicit policy is not discrimination to you, then please state your view of what is discrimination?

I have suppressed Spam Posts. Don't unsupress them

The thing is there are more countries having Muslim majorities...but India is the only nation for Hindus , Chrianity,Shikh,and other religions where they will be given right to live in South Asia.
For Muslims there are more than 20 nation who believe that Islamic is their National Religion.That is why they are not give recommendations in CAA.

Who said there wasn't? Please don't mistake anti-BJP and anti-RSS stances as pro-INC. UPA's government wasn't without its fair share of problems but they aren't the ones in power now. If your defence of the present government's actions is "what about what happened 50 years ago?" you're trying to duck responsibility. Are you seriously suggesting that BJP can do wrong things now just because INC did it when they were in power?

So what if there are more Muslim majority countries? The whole world can be Muslim and India will and should still be a secular nation that doesn't discriminate on religious basis. You see them as Muslims alone. I'm asking you to also see them as fellow Indians who grew up with us in the same country, in the same neighbourhood, sharing similar values and interests. Don't try to alienate Indian Muslims because of their religion.

Flat earth theory is also a different point of view. That doesn't make it true.

But I have supported my point of view with facts, unlike you.

Even muslims can get Citizenship in India. CAA is especially for those who are discriminated on religious basis.

... are you saying that there is no proof of Modi visiting the Ram mandir? Because I think there is ample proof of that available online.
