Rajasthan – Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at a recent political rally in Barmer, Rajasthan, expressed serious concerns over the election manifestos of the opposition parties, with a specific focus on national security.
PM Modi highlighted that the Congress party’s manifesto appears to be influenced by the Muslim League, a party he holds accountable for the partition of India. He voiced his apprehensions about the potential consequences this association could have on the nation’s unity.
Additionally, the Prime Minister criticized another party, a part of the INDI alliance, for a pledge in their manifesto that he described as ‘dangerous’ for the nation. This party, which he did not identify, has reportedly committed to dismantle India’s nuclear weapons.
In a region where India is flanked by two nuclear-armed nations, PM Modi questioned the rationale behind such a decision. “When two of our neighbours are armed with nuclear weapons, should our nuclear weapons be destroyed?” he asked the crowd, further questioning, “What kind of an alliance is this which wants to make India powerless?”
These remarks from the Prime Minister come amidst rising regional tensions and ongoing debates on national security. His statements are likely to stimulate further discussions on India’s defense strategy, especially the role of nuclear weapons, and the impact of election manifestos on national policy.
As the election fervor intensifies, the rally in Barmer is a significant part of PM Modi’s campaign trail. With national security and the implications of party manifestos emerging as key issues, the political scenario is set to become more intense in the days to come.
