If you are with the government you are safe, but if you are against it, then God help you.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh talked about fear in Gujarat and minced no words as he took on Chief Minister Narendra Modi in his own turf.

Singh, who is campaigning for his Congress party in Gujarat today, said the atmosphere of fear in the state is dangerous for the entire country.

He said a fear psychosis is being generated in Gujarat, which is disastrous not just for Gujarat, but for the entire nation.

And in the land of Mahatma, those who believe in violence want to come back to power.

"We want to change the face of Gujarat villages, make them models for developments. Sardar Sarovar Project has been completed with the help of the Central government," said Manmhohan Singh addressing a rally in Surat.

"On the education front, Gujarat is still lagging behind. One-third of the people are still uneducated, apart from villages, even urban centres need to develop," he added.

Comment on Sohrabuddin unfortunate: PM

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said it was unfortunate that some people have commented on the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case without realising that it could affect the matter pending before the court.

Asked by reporters about the controversy generated by Chief Minister Narendra Modi's statement justifying the killing of Sohrabuddin in a fake police encounter in 2005, Singh said it was not proper for him to comment on it because the matter was sub-judice.

The Prime Minister was speaking to reporters after addressing an election rally in Surat.

"Today there is a clash between two thoughts. Gujarat should return to mainstream polity. I now see the winds of change blowing here (in Gujarat). The Congress will return to power with a thumping majority," he said.

Hitler took the Germans on a hate ride and turned Germany into a rubble. Saddam did the same for Iraq. Now it is Narendra Modi's turn to take innocent Hindus on a hate-ride for the "other" (in this case Muslims) based on manufactured/injected hatred and falsehood... and eventually bring in destruction to Mother India and turn India into a rubble.

Dont give your vasan on a communal line. All are good. there are both good and bad element in all religions. We have faced number of vilence on the communal/ relegious and also for local problems.Does it serve any purpose?. Let us build a unified india free from terror & violence. let us live and grow and allow others to live and grow in piece. Let the national leaders refrain from talking at a state level elections. Let gujarati decide who is good and a who is bad for them. Dont allow immotion to overpower the realities.

In a democracy the elected members are people's representatives as defined in our constitution, irrespective of their personal credentials. A PM speaking about a CM is governed by certain protocol and decency. After what is happening in Gujarat elections what should the nation expect in the future elections?

It is unbelievable that the first 4 comments on this story have not been removed. Is NDTV scared of the BJP but not of the congress and the PM. Abuses directed a the Congress are fine but those at the BJP or Advani or Modi must be hidden. Is that it? You will let the communal comments show because well its neutral journalism, but hide the ones against modi or BJP cause that would be partial to the secular forces. This does not mean that the Congress is dudh ki dhuli or one has to agree with whatever it says, but come on, everyone knows BJP is an openly communal party. Everyone knows that it cannot stand when questioned about development. Everyone knows the basis of their existence is the division of our country. Why must people be allowed to glorify communal ideas on forums like these? They have the RSS schools and their own papers to spread hatred and malice. They are anyway so efficient at spreading poison why is NDTV so hell bent on helping them?

It is time the puppet packed his bag and retired. He make no impression in India. Neither does he overseas. I can't believe that a nation that aspires to be a super power elects a puppet as PM. Bharat needs likes of Modi to keep the Mughals out- except this time the Mughals will be the extreme form that we see in Afghanistan and NW Pak. Even in the Islamic countries including Pak, the Muslim do not have as many rights as they have in Bharat. Only the Hindus have fewer rights in their own country. A Hindustani from UK

Congress has no issue to campaign on so Sonia and PM and Congress have adopted to negative campaign, personal attack on a candidate(last resort in politics). They have started to attack Mr. Modi himself starting with Sonia's first rally in Gujarat where she called Mr. Modi a "motka saudagar". So, Congress from beginning knew that they had go on negative campaign. Omkar Narayan.

It is unfortunate that politicians always find a way to divide the country in to caste/religious lines.It is not that only one party is to be blamed.All parties are to be blamed.However Modi takes the cake because he is capable of inciting violence and nobody dares touch him incl Advani or Vajpayee. Gujrat is vibrant but please Mr Modi, remember Gujrat is for every community and you cannot blame only one community.My appeal is to bridge the gapand not to widen the rift.

If you are not with Sonia Gandhi, then you suffer I.T Notices. Is it right Lame duck PM? what a joke Lame duck PM has shared, which suggested nothing but short-sighted & cheap politics at it best. Sonia Gandhi was always at her cheapest in Gujrat. what is more saddening is that White paper writing Lame duck PM was a counter balance between corrupt & Communal Congress, has got disease of Congress party.I think people of this nation are not blind who's communal and who is not. At least in that respect BJP doesn't do carnage like Nandigram with out sizeable provocation. Which is turning out to be another District wide Nithari of WB supported by Karat Brother & Sisters. Moreover, Speaker of Lok sabha who's credibility as Parliamentarian is at lowest, is running the house at his guided by his leaning into Communists.

It is natural for a person who once said that Muslims has the first right on national resources to make such rhetoric, I hope the people of Gujarat are wise enough to see the hidden agenda of these so called secular leaders and vote for the one who has the courage to call a spade a spade.

Monmohan Singh's first duty is to impose 356 in West Bengal as century's most brutal and inhuman massacre was done there. . He also forgets his party’s communal anti-Sikh role in 1984. He is dependent upon world’s no-1 inhuman party (CPM) to stay in power

This comment / speech has brought down the status of Sri. Manmohan Singh. A comment like this should not have come from a PM !! What fear he is talking about, In Gujarat a lady will be safe on the street even at midnight, and each day is a working day, not celebrated with bandh and hartals. The common man can work and earn. How many states can claim this. And see the development in Gujarat. The earth quake shattered Bhuj area is an Industrial hub. What Congress could not do in decades Modi accomplished in 5 yrs.

The BJP is a party of communal fanatics and muderers of Indian citizens. They mis-inform the people about facts and try to whip up communal hatreds. The BJP can never win on development issues hence they frighten the hindus about Islam. There is no scientific or historical fact about Ram and other hindu Gods. You cant base facts on mythology. This country will be ruined if people like modi and advani are not jailed nad punished for communal violence.

The U.P.A Govt and the Congress ruled states have done a good job,unlike the B.J.P which rakes people on communal issues. Unfortunatly for the people of gujrat, Gandhian idiologies and development today carries no importance, with people like Modi who belives in dividing the society on communal lines.

In a peace loving state, where Ghandhiji was born, the people were living in peace and harmony irrespective of any religions/sect, unfortunately it is very sad today that the BJP and its allies are spreading hatred against other religions and sects eyeing at the votes. The CM Modi who is supposed to protect the law and order is talking like a terrorist is certainly shameful to all of us. Modi should understand that we are living in a world where people want to live in peace and leave all kind of old fighting and war but united and be helpful to others. You can not get votes by promoting violence and hatred against others, and turning people to fight and kill each other. PM is very correct. There is a fear among people today becase of Modi and his policies.

I feel by acknowledging there is atmosphere of terror in Gujarat the PM is saying that the Centre is weak in controlling the state. If the PM feels that the situation is out of hand in Gujarat he should recommended dismissal of the Gujarat Government. The elections could be held under President's rule. I think the situation which the PM is acknowledging today has been in existence from last 5 years. What action was taken by him and his government during the last 5 years.

Watever he has done, he has done for the public of Gujarat. He is not Psuedo secular like your Government. Congress in 60 years of rule infact made this country poor and worse then the Britishers.

Surprising to read Singh telling ''We want to change the face of Gujarat villages, make them models for developments" ''On the education front, Gujarat is still lagging behind. One-third of the people are still uneducated, apart from villages, even urban centres need to develop,'' There are tens of 1000s of other villages in India which also needs face change. More than 40% of Indian population is still uneducated why dont you look at these issues. When compared to the entire county is Gujarat not in a better position. First try to improve these level at the country in par with Gujarat then you can take improvising Gujarat as a serperate case.

Is NDTV moderating the Viwers's comments. The below comment by Ankit is fanatic saying 'oath can be taken in the name of Allaah whose followers are terrorists'. What does this means?. Educated people like us shuld not get emotionalised by means of religion. Let's think in enlightened and humanitarisan ways. Ethical and humanistic ideals have influenced the thoughts and social attitudes of Hindus and Muslims to bring about the secular India that we are so proud of today. Let's keep and continue this.

Respected PM, May I ask your opinion on Nandigram, Anti sikh riots and blatant misuse of power by Congress men to subvert justice in 1984 riot cases. More over what would you think about increasing attacks on India by Islamic fundamentalists. Please do not polarize the country any more. it is already polarized and that is not good for the integrity of our nation. This has happened before 1947 and unfortunatly it is happening again. Please stop this and work toward integration Many thanks. Regards, Arvind

It should be easy to remove such fears. In fact there is no reason why Muslims should now have fear. After all he has already declared that Muslims have the first claim on India. Moreover, Sonia Gandhi has recntly promised to muslims that they would get a society of their DREAMS ie mullacracy. They should just wait for three more weeks before the pall of fear is lifted.

The truth is that the fears in the country are about terrorist attacks, naxal attacks, communal riots, criminal acts, disrution of life due to Bandhs, etc. There are many parts of the country where literally no law and order exists. The political parties in the country are only in interested in reamaining in power by appeasing all vested and criminal elements.

Let the PM bring the witness to the anti-sikh riots traced by CNN IBN who could not be traced by his own CBI and bring the culprits to books. Also ezxplain censorship was imposed on the news about the MLA who had earlier attacked Taslima , now attacked a lady doctor in a Govt. hospitalin AP.The students of medical colleges are on strike to bring the MLA to books. This was not published by newspaper in Tamilnadu. This is now blacked out even in TV channels. Is this democracy?

Man Mohan Singh's UPA govt has 102 MPs who are murderers, rapists, corrupts and criminals. How come Man Mohan Singh said that Muslims must have first claims on all the resources and he loses sleep on the arrest of muslims. Man Mohan Singh govt said Lord Ram do not exist and at the same time says oath can be taken in the name of Allaah whose followers are terrorists. Man Mohan Singh govt has started special drive to recruit muslims in police, army and para-military forces. Thus muslims terrorists and ISI would make our national security vulnerable. PM has removed troops from Kashmir so that muslim can create havoc on hindus in kashmir. Man Mohan Singh is encouraging islamic terrorism on hindus to gain muslim votes.
