Posting Videos Of Eating Non-Vegetarian Meals In Navratra, Who Are You Trying To Please?: PM Modi Asks Opposition In Udhampur Rally
PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (12 April) addressed an election rally in Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur.
He slammed the INDI Alliance leaders for their ‘Mughal mindset’ and accused them of hurting people’s beliefs.
PM Modi’s jab came days after a video of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav eating non-veg food went viral.
"People of the Congress and INDI alliance do not care about the majority of the country's population. They enjoy toying with people's emotions. These people were making mutton at the home of a convicted criminal during the month of Sawan, and not only that, they were taunting the people of the country by making a video of it," he said.
"The law does not prohibit anyone from eating anything. Everyone has the freedom to eat vegetarian or non-vegetarian food. But the intentions of these people are different. By showing videos during the month of Sawan, they want to taunt people through a Mughal mentality and secure their vote bank," he added.
"They eat non-veg during Navratri and tease people by showing the video. By showing videos of non-veg food during Navratri, by hurting the sentiments of people, whom are they trying to please? Today, after I say this, these people will shower abuse on me. However, when things become unbearable, it becomes my duty in a democracy to present the correct perspective of all things to the country," he said.
PM Modi also challenged any Opposition party, especially Congress, to bring back Article 370, which was abrogated in 2019.
He added that time is not far for holding Assembly elections and for the restoration of J&K’s statehood.
PM Modi also said that after decades, Jammu and Kashmir is finally having a Lok Sabha election without fear of terrorism and threats of cross-border firing.
