Opposition parties continued their protest on the issue of Manipur on Tuesday, amid which opposition leaders were upset over PM Modi’s remarks on the alliance of opposition parties. All opposition leaders targeted PM Modi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday described the opposition Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance (India) as the most directionless alliance the country has ever seen and cited names like the East India Company and Indian Mujahideen, saying people cannot be misled by the use of the country’s name alone.
The Prime Minister said this while addressing the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting. According to news agency PTI, in the meeting, the PM criticized the opposition amid the ongoing deadlock in Parliament and expressed confidence that after the victory in the 2024, Lok Sabha elections, the ruling NDA is set to get a third consecutive term. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said that the PM mentioned the frustrated and frustrated behavior of the opposition. He said that his stand shows that he has decided to remain in the opposition for many years to come.
Reacting to pm’s statement, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi tweeted, “Call us whatever you want, Modi ji,, we are India. We will help heal Manipur and wipe the tears of every woman and child. We will rebuild the idea of India in Manipur.
Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge said so many representatives are giving notices under Section 267 in Parliament. Today Manipur is burning, rapes are taking place there. We are talking about Manipur and here the Prime Minister is talking about the East India Company. We urge the Prime Minister to come to Parliament and speak on the Manipur issue., But he is talking about the East India Company in his party meeting.
“Why are they afraid of opposition parties naming their alliance India (INDIA)? They are nervous about our successful meetings in Patna and Bengaluru. The PM has become directionless, he does not understand what to do and how to do it. The issue of Manipur is not like Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh or West Bengal, , it is much more serious than this. They are not worried about atrocities on women. ,
Congress leader Digvijaya Singh said, “We have never seen a Prime Minister who is afraid to answer in Parliament. If they have the same problem with the word ‘India’, then they should remove ‘India”’ from the name of Startup India and others ‘ <.’ Proud of the name >India’. Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said that why does the Prime Minister hate India so much. Aam Aadmi Party leader Saurabh Bhardwaj said it was unfortunate that the PM used such words. The word ‘India’ is in our Constitution. The PM himself has used the word ‘Team India’ ”.’
TMC MP Mahua Moitra said, “Enough is enough, PM Sahib, comparing India with banned terrorist organizations is neither in line with your position nor in line with your dignity. Parliament is in session,, why don’t you use some part of the bravery you show outside the House inside Parliament and actually face India? ,
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma tweeted, “Mr Rahul Gandhi, this is really the problem of I.N.D.I.A. Speak only against Manipur and punish those who speak for others. In India, , Our loyalty is to every citizen, be it Manipur, Rajasthan or West Bengal or Assam. India will win , , India will have to win.,
BJP president JP Nadda said that there was a child who failed in all his examinations. His classmates and neighbours hated him. So the parents thought of changing his name to change his perception. Isn’t the case similar to I.N.D.I.A. BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad said that they (opposition) have accepted that they do not want to come to power. THE PM said one It has been remarked that the Indian National Congress was formed by the British. The East India Company was also formed by the British. Nowadays, people also name Indian Mujahideen, Indian People’s Front also name it.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said that when the Congress was formed in 1885, it was the British who did it. We banned the People’s Front, they also call themselves India. In today’s time, the fashion of adding the name of India is related to urban-Naxalism. They add the name India to legitimise themselves and they are all urban Naxalites.
