ARNAB: So the hot heads who make extreme comments, is there a necessity to control them? So that there is no politics in the name of religion.

PM MODI: Firstly, I am of the firm belief that the nation should progress on the issue of development. And it is necessary that the country moves forward on the issue of development. I would like to tell the media not to make heroes out of those people who make such comments.

ARNAB: But they keep making such comments.

PM MODI: Don't make them heroes, they will stop.

ARNAB: We don't make them heroes, we make them villains.

PM MODI: But why do you make them so big? I see such statements by people on TV, whose faces I haven't even seen and they end up becoming spokesmen on TV.


ARNAB: Self styled spokesmen.

PM MODI: I don't know why such people are encouraged.
