Rajasthan – Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a political rally in Barmer, Rajasthan, launched a scathing attack on the opposition parties over their election manifestos, bringing national security to the forefront of the political discourse.
PM Modi drew attention to the Congress party’s manifesto, which he claimed carries the imprint of the Muslim League. The Muslim League, according to PM Modi, played a pivotal role in the partition of India. He expressed apprehension about the potential impact of this alliance on the country’s unity and integrity.
Further, the Prime Minister criticized another party within the INDI alliance for a declaration in their manifesto that he deemed as ‘dangerous’ for the nation. This unnamed party has allegedly committed to dismantling India’s nuclear weapons.
In a region where two of India’s neighbours possess nuclear capabilities, PM Modi questioned the prudence of such a decision. “Should our nuclear weapons be destroyed when two of our neighbours are armed with nuclear weapons?” he asked the audience, adding, “What kind of an alliance is this which wants to make India powerless?”
These comments from the Prime Minister come against the backdrop of escalating regional tensions and ongoing debates about national security. His statements are expected to ignite further discussions about India’s defense strategy, particularly the role of nuclear weapons, and the influence of election manifestos on national policy.
As the election season intensifies, the rally in Barmer forms a crucial part of PM Modi’s campaign trail. With national security and the implications of party manifestos emerging as key issues, the political temperature is set to rise in the coming days.
