Khurshid said, "It's as if Modi just discovered that Muslims are
patriotic. They need not be given a certificate. They fought in the
independence struggle together."
On the question on Al Qaeda head Ayman al Zawahiri issuing a video and
his message to Muslims in India, Modi said in an interview to CNN's Fareed Zakaria, "My understanding is that
they are doing injustice towards the Muslims of our country. If anyone
thinks Indian Muslims will dance to their tune, they are delusional.
Indian Muslims will live for India, they will die for India - they will
not want anything bad for India."
