Expressing confidence over the country’s development under Narendra Modi’s prime ministership, Shia cleric Kalbe Sadiq has said Muslims do not need to fear.

“As Prime Minister, his (Modi) mentality will change automatically,” the All India Muslim Personal Law Board vice President, Sadiq, said on Sunday  at Chilkana village in the Saharanpur district.

The Shia cleric has come to the village for participating in a religious programme.

“Due to backwardness in education Muslims are poor in economic status,” he said, and appealed them to strive for quality education.

He also asked the community to set up modern educational institutions.
