Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday gave a befitting reply to the INDIA bloc over remarks made by Farooq Abdullah and Mani Shankar Aiyar in support of Pakistan, stating that India would make the cash-strapped country wear bangles if it wasn’t wearing any.
PM Modi’s reply came in response to National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah, who while reacting to Rajnath Singh’s vow to take back Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (Pok), said the neighbouring country was not wearing bangles.
Addressing an election rally in Muzaffarpur Lok Sabha constituency of Bihar, PM Modi made a reference to a recent statement of National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah, without mentioning him by name.
Highlighting the ongoing problems faced by Pakistan, PM Modi said, “Pakistan ne choodiyan nahi pehni hain, are bhai pehna denge. Ab unko aata bhi chahiye, unke pass bijli bhi nahi hai, ab humein maloom nahi ki unke pass choodiyan bhi nahi hai (If Pakistan is not wearing bangles, we will make them wear bangles. They don’t have flour, they don’t have electricity, now I have come to know that they even have a scarcity of bangles).”
“The INDIA bloc seems to have leaders who are scared of Pakistan and have nightmares of its nuclear power,” he added.
Earlier while addressing an election rally in Hajipur, PM Modi attacked the Opposition leaders and said the money recovered in raids against politicians “belonged to the country’s poor”. “I will tell you why they are crying hoarse against the action of agencies like the ED. During the previous Congress regime, the ED seized only Rs 35 lakh, which could be contained in a school bag. Ever since we took over, the agency has recovered Rs 2,200 crore, which would require 70 small trucks to be carried.”
Mani Shankar Aiyar Triggers Massive Row
PM Modi’s reaction also came in response to veteran Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar‘s remarks who said that India should “respect” Pakistan because it has “atom bomb”.
Reacting to Aiyar’s comments, PM Modi in Odisha accused the Congress party of trying to spook the people of India with Pakistan’s atomic bombs, and said such a weak attitude encouraged cross-border terrorism in the past.
