Amid Lok Sabha Elections 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while campaigning for the BJP in Rajasthan's Banswara on 21 April 2024, used "derogatory words" such as "infiltrators" and "those with many children" while referring to Muslims.
While the opposition parties sharply criticised this, the Election Commission of India has "declined to comment" on the PM's remarks.
