After training his guns at Rahul Gandhi for his “choice of words” against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP President J.P. Nadda on Saturday targetted Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, saying the opposition was “questioning” the Indian armed forces at “such a delicate time”.
“It has been our party’s history that we have always stood by the national leaders in times of crisis. But our Opposition, at such a delicate time, is questioning our forces and are trying to weaken the morale of the nation,” alleged the BJP President while addressing a virtual rally for party cadres of Telangana.
During the all-party meeting on the India-China standoff on Friday, Sonia Gandhi had questioned the Modi government about “intelligence failure”, saying, “In fact, even at this late stage, we are still in the dark about many crucial aspects of the crisis.”
Nadda also attacked Sonia Gandhi for Congress’ sharp offensive against the Modi government for the steep fuel price hike.
“Sonia Gandhi questioned the hike in petrol prices. Does she not know that it has been hiked in Rajasthan, Punjab, and Maharashtra also? Don’t her CMs listen to her,” Nadda said.
Nadda also raised the cause of Muslim women by mentioning the Triple Talaq Act.
“Nine crore Muslim women were still under the shackles of Triple Talaq. Working on SC’s direction and backed by the will power of Prime Minister Modi, we managed to free all Muslim women from the atrocity of Triple Talaq,” the BJP President said.
He added that Islamic countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, and others did not have the practice of Triple Talaq, while India continued with it.
Nadda also hailed the Prime Minister’s role during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, saying Modi was the first leader who called and initiated the G20 Summit to fight coronavirus.
“The whole world, be it UN, World Bank or WHO, praised Modi,” Nadda said.
He also referred to the various initiatives, including PM-KISAN Yojna, ‘Aatmanirbhar’s package, among others, which have been introduced to help different sections of the society.
