The document is a press statement signed by 237 individuals condemning Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence in response to calls for genocide against Indian Muslims made at a religious meeting. It says the PM's silence violates his constitutional duty and enables further targeting of Muslims. It questions what message the PM and RSS leader Mohan Bhagwat are sending through their silence, given Bhagwat's previous statements of Hindu-Muslim unity.

PRESS STATEMENT
PM Modi’s maun over the genocide call speaks volumes
No Indian ought to be surprised by the shocking silence of Prime Minister Narendra
Modi despite growing demand nationally and internationally that he must speak, and
his government must act in exemplary fashion against members of the Dharam
Sansad who have called for a genocide of Indian Muslims.
“As the leader of India he has an obligation to denounce this genocidal speech... Yet,
Narendra Modi has not spoken against it,” Dr. Gregory Stanton, President of the
global Genocide Watch has righty commented.
The PM’s silence speaks volumes, is nothing short of a mockery of Indian democracy,
a violation of the Indian Constitution which the PM has sworn to uphold during his
swearing in. It has earned him the dubious distinction of being the only leader in the
democratic world to remain mute witness to the public call for mass murder. His
maun is inexcusable, even if understandable, considering that the Dharam Sansad is
an integral part of Hindutva’s hate factory to which the PM himself provides fuel
through his own frequent dog whistles.
In his first term as Prime Minister, Modi had promised “sabka saath, sabka vikas” to
all Indians. He went a step further in his current second term with the assurance of
“sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas”. That these were/are nothing but
insincere and hollow slogans is more than evident from the way Indian Muslims
continue to be hounded, wounded and lynched under his watch.
The PM said nothing when in 2020 a Union minister in his government, Anurag
Thakur, gave the “goli maaro saalon ko” call at a public rally in Delhi. And his refusal
now to break his chuppi over the genocidal call is part of the same sordid drama.
Only a few months ago the RSS supremo Mohan Bhagwat had proclaimed that “the
DNA of all Indians is the same”, that “Hindutva is inconceivable without Muslims”
that “if any Hindu says Muslims should not remain in India, he is not a Hindu”…. Now
that an offspring of his own parivar has called for wiping all trace of Indian Muslims

2. from Bharat Mata, why is he too silent? Or are we to assume that it is the usual
double speak of the RSS, the organisation which Mohan Bhagwat leads.
What message are a maun PM and a maun Bhagwat sending out to Indian Muslims in
particular and the world in general?
