"Let us come out of past, join hands to strengthen the government led by PM Modi ji. A fair trial should be accorded to the new government to see what it has to offer to the minority people," former member of the country's center-left Janata Dal United party, Sabir Ali, was quoted as saying by the newspaper at a Muslim conference.
Islam is the second-largest religion in India after Hinduism. Muslims in India also make up the world's largest Muslim minority.
Ali added that if religious minorities are satisfied with the performance of Modi's administration, they would continue to support the government, or seek a "new course."
Modi came into power in May 2014. Economic growth and development for all are among the key polices of the Modi administration. However, there is still fear among minority communities that the government intends to make India a completely Hindu nation, according to local media.
