Did anyone hear Modi's lecture in SUFI meeting yesterday? I think it was one of the best by an India PM on such a complex topic 

Of all the 99 names, none stands for violence and the first two names denote compassionate and merciful. Allah is both Rehman and Raheem. That's the gist of the speech by Modi

Yes, I heard the speech and I must admit that it was wonderful.

Modi is a pragmatic leader and is one of the best in India, but apart from him there is no other leader of stature in BJP. Thus everything is on his shoulders. 

Although I did not get to see the entire speech of modi, I did hear the relevant bits..he is of course a very committed leader and like in every political party, there are a few loose cannons in BJP too , who need to be kept in check! The horse beater mla is not the kind that needs to be put up with, hope the truth comes out and even if he did not hit the horse, he had no business hitting anyone or anything with a stick..

The speech is no doubt wonderful but will his own party men understand it and even partially follow it. It is they who dilute his message and programs at regular intervals.

Modi is doing his best, but the lower rungs of BJP must understand stakes involved.. Also Modi needs to be assertive. In case he had suspended the bjp MLA at one go, his stàture in India and world would have risen manifold.

First of all for an elected rep to be suspended there shd be very strong reason and evidence for which time is required, one cannot always go by media,evidence as was seen in kanhaiyas case and at that time the same people felt that the action taken was hasty...

Suspension ofMLA is only by legislature. Modi could have suspended from party. What a strong message it would have been.
