Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday alleged that Mani Shankar Aiyar, who was recently suspended from the Congress party for his “neech” remarks, held secret meetings with the Pakistan High Commissioner. Addressing a rally at Palanpur city in Banaskantha district, Modi accused Pakistan of helping the Congress and interfering in the Gujarat Assembly elections.
“The same Mani Shankar Aiyar, who insulted Gujarat, held secret meetings with Pakistan High Commissioner. What was the reason? Why are people who previously held high posts in military-intelligence establishment of Pak writing that we should help make Ahmed Patel the CM?”, Narendra Modi said at the rally.
Slamming the Congress, the prime minister said the party, has often accused the government of working for the poor, however if records of last ten years is brought out then one can see how many Padma awards were given by them and his government, it would be clear who is working for the poor and who for the rich, he added. On Saturday, during his rally at Lunawada, the prime minister latched on to tweets by a man named Salman Nizami who, he said, was a Congress leader to tear into the rival party for allegedly questioning his parentage
PM Modi said, “There is one Congress youth leader called Salman Nizami, who is campaigning for Rahul Gandhi in Gujarat. He said on Twitter that Rahul Gandhi’s father and grandmother had sacrificed their lives, while his great-grandfather was a freedom fighter. Okay, very good, we do not have a problem with that. Then he went on to ask that Modi should answer who is his father and mother”.
Referring to Nizami again, the prime minister said, ““I want to tell those who are asking who is my father and who is my mother… India is my father and India is also my mother. I, the son of Bharat Mata, will serve my motherland till the last breath of my life.”
