Damoh: Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a dig at Pakistan on Friday, remarking that a country once known for exporting ‘aatank’ (terror) is now grappling with shortages of ‘aata’ (flour). PM Modi made this statement while addressing an election rally in Madhya Pradesh’s Damoh.
“There are many countries in the world whose conditions have worsened. Many are facing bankruptcy. Even one of our neighbours, which was once a supplier of ‘aatank’ (terrorism), is now struggling to supply ‘aata’ (flour),” PM Modi said.
He highlighted India’s transition from being a buyer of weapons from abroad to becoming an exporter of high-tech weapons to other countries.
PM Narendra Modi emphasized the importance of the people voting for a strong and stable government at the Centre.
The PM asserted that his government works with the principle of “Rashtra Pratham” (nation first) and never succumbs to pressure from any quarter.
PM Narendra Modi defended India’s decision to buy oil from Russia despite pressure from the West, including the United States.
“To ensure that the people of the country get cheap oil and farmers get adequate fertilizers, we have taken this decision in the national interest… We have seen in the last 10 years how a stable government works in the interest of the people. During the COVID-19 crisis, there was chaos worldwide, but a strong BJP government brought back its citizens from all over the globe,” he said.
PM Narendra Modi emphasized the need for a government that can respond to global exigencies, referring to conflicts in Russia, Ukraine, West Asia, and the Middle East.
PM Narendra Modi accused the opposition of weakening India’s defense sector.
He criticized the Congress for creating hurdles in the procurement of French-made Rafale fighter jets, stating that if the Congress had been in power, Tejas would not have been soaring in the skies.
Meanwhile, PM Modi praised Iqbal Ansari, a former litigant in the Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case, for accepting the invitation to attend the grand Ram Temple event in Ayodhya in January. He also criticized the Opposition for not attending the event despite invitations.
“Two generations of the Ansari family fought for Babri Masjid, against Hindus in court. Iqbal Ansari and his family fought the battle for centuries, but when the Supreme Court decided in favor of Hindus, even they welcomed the verdict. Not just this, during the Ram Mandir stone-laying ceremony, the Ram Mandir Trust sent invitations to everyone, and you will be happy to know that (Iqbal) Ansari attended the event. Moreover, The Trust sent him an invitation for the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, with Congress, Samajwadi Party, and INDI alliance leaders. After fighting against Ram Mandir for his life, he attended the Pran Pratishtha ceremony,” said PM Modi.
