Abrogation of Art 370, abolition of triple talaq would not have happened had we followed predecessors: Modi
New Delhi/IBNS: Taking a jibe at the Opposition, mainly Congress, Prime Minister Narenra Modi in Parliament on Thursday said the historic steps like the abrogation of Article 370 and abolition of triple talaq would not have happened had the present government followed the footsteps of its predecessors.
Mocking the Opposition for saying the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is in hurry to take steps, Modi addressing the Lok Sabha said, "Had we continued on the road followed by the previous governments, Article 370 would not have been abrogated even after 70 years. Muslim women would continue to face the wrath of Triple Talaq."
"Had we continued the way you governed, we would have never opened the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor. We could never have solved the India-Bangladesh border issue following your steps," added the Prime Minister in reply to the motion of thanks on the President's Address.
Defending the government's swiftness in taking decision, Modi said, "The world has expectations from India. If we don't challenge the challenges and speed up our development, the country would probably have to face problems for a long time in the future."
"We want to walk a new line, devoid of the league. It's been 70 years since Independence and India should not wait for development anymore. We want to increase both the speed and scale of the work," he added.
