NEW DELHI: The Prime Minister on Wednesday asserted that his government has been consistently taking strong actions against terrorism across the
Pakistan
border in comparison to ‘weak’ governments in the past, which he said ‘sent
dossiers
to Pakistan’ after attacks.
Linking it to his BJP-governed “new India’s policy of looking an adversary in the eye and speaking the truth rather than resorting to stealth,” the Prime Minister said ‘ earlier, weak governments used to send dossiers to Pakistan after terror attacks but we hit
terrorists
in their homes.’
Addressing a rally in Gujarat, the Prime Minster who has doubled down on his rhetoric against the
Congress
in the recent days, continued his onslaught against the grand old party accusing it of being in ‘alliance’ with Pakistan.
PM Modi
exuded confidence that despite clamor from the Congress of ‘bloodshed’ if Article 370 was removed, there was nothing of that sort.
The Prime Minister recently in Bagalkot in Northern Karnataka revealed the untold story of how he ensured Pakistan was the first to officially hear about the 2019 Balakot airstrike.
“I instructed our forces to notify media about the airstrike, albeit after I had informed Pakistani authorities over phone that we have carried out an airstrike, killed these many people and caused this much destruction. But they wouldn’t take calls,”
The attack from the PM also comes as former Pakistan minister Fawad Chaudhry praised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s recent speech attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government before the polls.
Taking to X, BJP IT-Cell chief Amit Malviya shared the screengrab of the Pakistani politician’s post and said ‘Congress’s dalliance with Pakistan can’t get more obvious.’
“Ch Fawad Hussain, who served in the Imran Khan cabinet, as Minister for Information and Broadcasting, is promoting Rahul Gandhi. Is the Congress planning to contest the election in Pakistan? From a manifesto, that has imprints of the Muslim league to a ringing endorsement, from across the border, Congress’s dalliance with Pakistan can’t get more obvious,” Malviya wrote.
Hitting out at the Opposition party, BJP’s national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla listed the occasions Congress received support from across the border and said, “Today the rishta is clear – Congress ka haath Pakistan ke saath! (Today the relationship between Congress is clear- Congress’ hand is with Pakistan)”.
“Pakistani leader – someone who has spewed venom against Bharat is promoting Rahul & Congress. Earlier Hafiz Saeed had said Congress is his favourite party.. Mani Aiyer went to Pakistan for support to depose PM Modi! We remember Pakistan Zindabad slogans were raised recently by Congress leaders & BK Hariprasad openly batted for Pak. Time & again Congress leaders defended Pakistani terrorists too,” Poonawalla said.
“From Muslim League manifesto to becoming Muslim League that created Pakistan! Pakistan Statement comes a day after INDI alliance says let’s do “vote jihad,” he added.
