PM Modi in Azamgarh: 'Desh mein koi maai ka laal paida hua hai jo...' PM Modi lashes out at Opposition on CCA
PTC Web Desk: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday lashed out at the Opposition for purportedly stoking communal tensions in the country by spreading misinformation about the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Asserting that the nation has commenced granting citizenship under the CAA, PM Modi criticised the "INDIA alliance" for their pledges to revoke the act, stating, "Desh mein koi maai ka laal paida hua hai jo CAA hata sake?" (Has anyone been born in this country who can repeal the CAA?).
Addressing an election gathering in UP's Lalganj in Azamgarh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused parties such as the Samajwadi Party and Congress of fabricating falsehoods about the CAA and inciting riots across the country, including Uttar Pradesh. He declared, "Koi CAA ko hatane ki kisi ki shakti nahi hai" (Nobody can remove the CAA).
PM Modi said his government had initiated the process of granting citizenship under the CAA to long-standing refugees who were victims of the partition based on religious lines. He stated, "Yeh woh log hain jo bade samay se desh mein sharanarthi ke roop mein reh rahe hain aur dharm ke aadhar par desh ke bhaagidaari ke victim bane the" (These are those people who have been living in the country for a long time as refugees and were victims of partition of the country done on the basis of religion).
Accusing the Congress of neglecting these refugees, PM Modi accused both the Congress and the SP of instigating unrest in the name of the CAA, aiming to drive Uttar Pradesh and the entire country into turmoil. He said, "Congress aur SP ne CAA ke naam par jhoot failaya. Inhone Uttar Pradesh aur poori desh ko dangaon ki aur khicha" (The Congress and the SP tried to spread lies in the name of CAA. They tried to push Uttar Pradesh and the entire country towards riots).
PM Modi also highlighted the enthusiastic participation of the people of Srinagar in the Lok Sabha Elections as evidence that no one can reintroduce Article 370 and indulge in vote bank politics. He said, "Srinagar ke logon ki pratiyogita mein dikhayi jaane wali utsukta ye sabit karti hai ki koi bhi Article 370 ko waapas la nahi sakta aur vote bank ki raajneeti nahi kar sakta" (The excitement showed by the people of Srinagar in polls is proof that no one can bring back Article 370 and do politics of vote bank).
Accusing the Samajwadi Party and Congress of engaging in divisive politics, PM Modi said they aimed to segregate the country's budget and allocate 15 percent to minorities. He stated, "Samajwadi Party, Congress do alag-alag parties hai lekin unka ek dukaan hai jahan par wo samarpan, jhoot, 'parivarvad', bhrashtachaar bechte hain" (The Samajwadi Party, Congress are two parties but have one shop where they sell appeasement, lies, 'parivarvad', corruption).
Meanwhile, PM Modi heaped praised on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for effectively executing cleanliness campaigns in UP by cracking down on mafia, rioters, and extortionists. He said, "Yogi Adityanath ne mere swachhata abhiyan ko safalta purvak chalaya hai, mafia, danga-karta aur bhaatijon ke khilaf karwai karke" (Yogi Adityanath has run my cleanliness campaign successfully in UP by acting against mafia, rioters, and extortionists).
