NEW DELHI -- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is under fire for campaign-trail comments blasted by critics as hate speech against Muslims, triggering anger and fear among the minority group.
On Sunday, just days after India kicked off a six-week election process in which Modi is seeking a rare third term, the 73-year-old leader addressed a rally in the northwestern state of Rajasthan.
