KANPUR: Prime Minister Narendra Modi tore into the opposition on Friday and slammed them for making "politically motivated" statements that are "demotivating the defence forces", reports the Indian media.Addressing a public rally in Kanpur, PM Modi said he is making this "serious charge" against some political opponents who, blinded by their dislike for Modi, are harming the interests of the nation."For political mileage and benefits, some political parties are making statements questioning the air strikes and the bravery and valour of our army personnel, deliberately," he said.As people cheered him, Modi said at a time when the country is "fighting a decisive battle against terrorism to uproot it forever", there are some who are making statements in a language that become a "weapon in Pakistan's armoury" to speak against India on the global stage.Referring to the Pulwama attack, Modi asked the crowd to tell him whether they are satisfied with his reaction to the dastardly attack. When people responded with a yes, he said: "While your chest is getting pumped up and feeling proud of the air strikes, opposition parties are using the issue to settle political scores with me. Will the country ever forgive them?"Calling it a matter of disgrace, Modi went on to say that the "insiders in India" are doing things that are music to Pakistan's ears. "They are doubting the bravery of the armed forces, they are levelling dirty allegations against the government ... Who will it help at the end of the day?" he said, alleging that the "enemies of the nation are doing this deliberately"."Utterances, statements of our very own are giving ammunition to Pakistan, which has been caught red-handed in terrorism. Terrorists know it is end game for them and hence they are rattled. The grenade attack on bus in Jammu on Thursday was such an attempt," he pointed out.Assuring the people that the Union government is closing in on them and would uproot them forever, he, however, stressed on the need for unity, peace and harmony in the country to enable his government to take decisive action against terror.Referring to the recent assault in Lucknow on two dry-fruit sellers from Kashmir, the prime minister lauded the Uttar Pradesh's Yogi Adityanath government for acting promptly and urged all state governments to act against such incidents."Peace, unity and harmony in the nation will give me the intrinsic strength to take decisive action against terror," he said while seeking people's support in this endeavour. He also castigated the opposition for trying to stick up an alliance."They are not bothered about the nation, poverty, terrorism, middle class, industry, army, Ganga...nothing," he said pointing out how the "mahamilawat alliance" is between people, "some of whom are in jail, some are soon going to jail and the others who are on bail".Meanwhile, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday fired a fresh salvo at Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleging that he has misled the country more than any other person who has held the office. Gandhi targeted PM Modi over a range of issues, including Rafale deal, unemployment, farm distress and representation of women in legislatures. “There have been so many prime ministers in India. But the volume of lies that this prime minister speaks is more than the combined lies spoken by all previous prime ministers,” Gandhi said during an interaction with women on the International Women’s Day at Koraput in Odisha.Gandhi blamed the policies of the Narendra Modi government for growing unemployment and rising crime against women. He said “Jobs are not being created in India. Unemployment leads to violence, hatred and alcoholism…Unless you face the truth, you can’t solve problems. This prime minister does not want to face the truth.” The Congress president promised if the party is voted to power in the upcoming Lok Sabha election, it would “try to pass the Women’s Reservation Bill” for better representation of women in legislatures.Hitting out at PM Modi over the Rafale deal, Gandhi said, “The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited has a plant here in Koraput…The prime minister snatched Rafale deal from the HAL and gave it to Anil Ambani, who got a contract of Rs30,000 crore. This money belonged to HAL.”Gandhi has been raising the issue of Rafale deal in his public meetings to target PM Modi alleging malfeasance in the Rs 59,000-crore defence contract signed between India and France in 2016. The Congress president also hit out at Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik saying that the BJD government has failed to ensure safety and security of women in the state. “Every day 12 women are raped in Odisha and only seven get justice in a year…The situation has worsened in the last four-five years.” He said if the Congress is elected to power in Odisha, it would make education and health priority sectors with greater budgetary allocations.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/com/cwEr/~4/Fds7ZERBZdk
