At a Jaipur rally, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge chastised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for bringing up the subject of Rajasthan’s Article 370 abrogation.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took aim at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge for his comments made the day before in Jaipur, Rajasthan, about Jammu and Kashmir.
“As the national president of the Congress, this is no insignificant position. Furthermore, the leader believes that Rajasthan has nothing to do with Article 370. Is Jammu & Kashmir not an essential component of the nation? He thinks like a tukde-tukde gang member,” Modi reportedly said during a rally in Nawada, Bihar, according to PTI.
The prime minister emphasized that “their bodies have reached their native places wrapped in tricolour” after security personnel from all over India—including Rajasthan and Bihar—lost their lives battling terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir.
“The INDIA bloc talks a lot about the Constitution. Their leaders should tell the people why they could not implement the Samvidhan of Baba Saheb Ambedkar fully in Jammu and Kashmir. Why did it take a Modi to do so?” the PM asked.
The prime minister’s attack comes a day after Kharge at a rally in Jaipur criticised him for raising the issue of Article 370 abrogation in Rajasthan.
Yesterday PM Modi addressed a rally in Rajasthan’s Churu. There are a lot of issues related to the farmers. The farmers are suffering and thousands of them have died by suicide. Instead of speaking about their issues, PM said he removed 371. What do the people here have to do with it?” Kharge had said.
Union home minister Amit Shah had also lashed out at the Congress chief, saying,”It is shameful to hear that the Congress party is asking, “Kashmir se kya waasta hai (What is the relation with Kashmir)?” I would like to remind the Congress party that J&K is an integral part of India, and every state and citizen has the right over J&K, just as the people of J&K have the right over the rest of India.
