Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said “rashtrabhakti” motivated him and his government to help people of various faiths, including Christians, and dubbed as “fatwa” a letter issued by Gandhinagar archbishop.
The Prime Minister was referring to the letter issued last month by Thomas Macwan, archbishop of the Archdiocese of Gandhinagar, in which he had appealed to Christians to pray to save the country from “nationalist forces”.
“I was shocked to see a religious person releasing a ’fatwa’ (diktat) saying uproot the nationalist forces. It is ’Rashtrabhakti’ (nationalism) that guides us to help every Indian in any part of the world,” Mr. Modi said.

As if there aren't enough problems, an argument over nationalism is necessary.
