In a bid to draw more attention to Ram Temple ahead of the remaining four-phase Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday claimed that Congress would overturn the Supreme Court verdict if Ram Temple is voted to power. .
PM Modi said that a senior Congress leader who recently left the party had convened a meeting of people for whom ‘Shehzada’ (a reference to Rahul Gandhi) was elected after the 2019 SC verdict in the Ram temple case and that the party He said that he had made it clear whether he would return to the government or not. , the Supreme Court’s decision will be overturned, just as his father (then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi) did on the Shah Bano issue.
Prime Minister Modi made this statement while addressing two consecutive election rallies in Ahmednagar and Beed districts of Maharashtra.
In 1985, the SC ruled in favor of Shah Bano, a Muslim woman from Indore who had sought maintenance from her husband after her divorce, but the then Rajiv Gandhi government overturned the verdict by law.
Prime Minister Modi also accused the Congress and its allies in the opposition India Bloc of “insulting” Lord Ram and his followers.
Prime Minister Modi’s statement came amid opposition claims that the ruling camp was upset by low turnout in the early stages of polls and was trying to polarize voters.
Referring to the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, he accused the Congress of confessing to terrorists.
Although the Prime Minister did not name any leaders, he appeared to have mentioned two senior Congress leaders – Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly, Vijay Wadetiwar, and Thiruvananthapuram Member of Parliament Dr Shashi Tharoor. Wadetiwar caused controversy when he said that Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab did not kill Hemant Karkare, then chief of the ATS in Maharashtra, during the 26/11 attacks. Mr. Tharoor had spoken in support of Mr. Wadettiwar.
The Congress “has some connection with the 10 terrorists who entered Mumbai in November 2008 and caused mayhem,” Modi claimed. “People are asking Congress, yeh rishta kya kehlata hai (what is this relationship called?).”
According to Prime Minister Modi, the Congress’s “B team” has started working “beyond borders”.
“Any scheme of the Indian group is not working in front of the people. They have crossed the threshold of despair. The situation shows hopelessness. Since the ‘A team’ here is losing, the Congress’ Team B also lost. “To boost the morale of the Congress, tweets are being made across borders and in return the Congress party is sending a clean message to the terrorists,” he said.
Prime Minister Modi reiterated his earlier claim that the Congress was planning to give reservations to Muslims, saying the election was between “santhushtikaran (satisfaction) and tushtikaran (appeasement)”. Said it’s happening.
“Now Indian officials are saying they will take away entire reservations from SC/ST/OBCs and give them to Muslims.The constitution is against religion-based reservations.Now they are changing the constitution. So they can secure their special property.’The vote bank is happy,” Modi said.
