Congress stand on Article 370, AFSPA suits Pakistan: PM Modi
SRINAGAR, APR 09 (PTK):Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that Congress stand on Article 370 and certain assurances made in its manifesto, and said that the promise to dilute the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) is something that would suit Pakistan.
“Congress wants to give an open license to anti nationals…this is exactly what Pakistan wants…how can you trust such a party?” Modi said in Latur, Maharashtra, where he shared dais with Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray after almost 28 months.
Your pick, Modi or chaos says BJP
The Prime Minister said Pakistan would not have existed in first place if it was not for decisions taken by the Congress in 1947. He also attacked the Congress over its stand on Article 370.
“The Congress says Article 370 won’t be removed. The language of the Congress’s ‘Dhakosala Patra’is the same as Pakistan’s. They have promised to hold talks with chaotic forces in Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan wants the same thing to happen,” he said in Latur.
Accusing Congress of speaking the language of Pakistan, PM Modi said, “Congress says Article 370 will not be removed from Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan is also saying what Congress is saying.”
Prime Minister said Congress is a party that wants to give open licence to anti-nationals because the party and their friends think alike. “Congress is responsible for Pakistan coming into existence,” Modi said, as he stepped up attack against the grand old party. “Had Congress leaders acted wisely during the pre-independence era, this Pakistan would not have born,” Modi stated.
PM Modi said those who talk of a separate PM and secession of Jammu and Kashmir are the ones whom the nation had trusted once. “Their real thoughts are now in the open,” Modi further stated.
Earlier, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah had said his party will strive hard for restoring the autonomy of Jammu and Kashmir that could include having a ‘Sadar-e-Riyasat’ (President) and ‘Wazir-e-Azam’ (Prime Minister).
“Both Congress and Pakistan want that our soldiers don’t get the strength that they need to tackle the menace of terror,” Narendra Modi said in Maharashtra’s Latur. (PTK)
