Prime Minister Narendra Modi is destined to meet the fate of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, said MK Muneer, chairman of the Kerala Administrative Reforms Commission. He was inaugurating the delegates’ meeting organized as part of Keralam State Muslim Youth Conference here on Saturday (November 7).

Mr. Muneer said that people live in a time when authoritarian leaders face setbacks. “That is why Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are forced to face opposition. In the end, they face the same fate as Hitler and Mussolini. Narendra Modi also faces a similar fate,” he said in a statement.

He called on the public to stand up against hate speech regardless of who is doing it, saying there should be no compromise with those who spread hate.

Shweta Bhatt, wife of former IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt, who was the chief guest at the delegates’ meeting, said her husband’s legal battle and imprisonment has entered its eighth year, but the family will not back down from their fight for truth and justice.

She said that asking questions and defending constitutional rights are true expressions of patriotism.

The meeting was presided over by Panakkad Muslim Youth League State President Syed Munavvar Ali Shihab Thangal. State General Secretary PK Firos delivered the welcome speech.
