Opposition leaders 'poster boys of Pakistan': PM Modi

Speaking at a rally in Dhar in Madhya Pradesh, Modi said: "These 'mahamilavati' persons have become poster boys of Pakistan by terming it as an ambassador of peace. They are misleading people of the country and trying to demoralise our armed forces by asking for proof of the IAF air strike."

"They see Pakistan as an angel of peace," he said.

Without any significant proof of the IAF strike's impact, Opposition leaders such as Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee and Akhilesh Yadav had asked for details. The Opposition has accused the BJP of milking the situation for its political gains.

BJP ally Shiv Sena had also said the public hadthe right to know about the casualties in the air strike.

Congress ‘culture’ back in MP: PM Modi

Accusing Madhya Pradesh’s dispensation of reneging on promises, PM Narendra Modi employed sarcasm as a political weapon on Tuesday by averring that “Congress culture” has returned to the state after an interval of one-and-a-half decades.

“The Congress government is least concerned vis-a-vis cultivators, soldiers and youngsters. Not a single peasant in this state benefitted from the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana due to the fact that the regime did not forward the related list to the Centre; therefore funds could not be disbursed,” he said while addressing the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Vijay Sankalp Rally at Dhar.
