‘Neighbouring country eager to make ‘shehzada’ next PM of India’
Anand, May 2: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday dubbed the Congress party a “disciple” of Pakistan, and targeted Rahul Gandhi saying the neighbouring country was eager to make the ‘shehzada’ of the grand old party India’s next prime minister as the country’s enemies want a weak government to be at the helm.
Addressing a mega election rally in Anand town of central Gujarat in support of Bharatiya Janata Party’s candidates for Anand and Kheda Lok Sabha seats, he also alleged that Congress wants to change India’s Constitution to provide reservation of Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Classes (OBC) communities to Muslims.
Modi’s comments linking Congress with Pakistan came a day after Chaudhry Fawad Hussain, a former minister in Imran Khan’s cabinet in Pakistan, reportedly shared a video featuring Rahul Gandhi on his social media handle and praised him.
“Pakistan is crying because Congress is dying here. You all must have learnt that Pakistani leaders are now praying for Congress. Pakistan is eager to make ‘shehzada’ (referring to Rahul Gandhi) the next PM. This is not surprising because we already know that Congress is Pakistan’s ‘murid’ (follower)” he said.
“The partnership between Pakistan and Congress has now been exposed completely. It shows that the country’s enemies want a weak government in India, not a strong one…A weak government which was there at the time of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack. They want a corrupt government which was there before 2014. But Modi’s strong government neither bows down nor does it stop,” the PM added.
Unlike in the past when Congress was in power, the “tyres of Pakistan’s terror have got punctured” now, he said.
“A country which used to export terror in the past, is now struggling to import ‘atta’ (flour). The hands which used to hold bombs are now holding ‘bheekh ka katora’ (begging bowl),” he said.
People across the world are now saying that India is a global bright spot. India is seen as ‘vishwa bandhu’ (global friend) who can resolve conflicts between two countries, Modi said. (PTI)
