Attempts Being Made To Incite Muslims Over UCC; Constitution Talks About Equal Rights To Citizens: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi while attending the 'Mera Booth Sabse Majboot' programme in Bhopal said that the Bharatiya Janata Party will not be adopting the path of appeasement and vote bank politics. He also spoke about the development of Pasmanda Muslims and slammed the supporters of triple talaq.

Prime Minister aimed at the recent opposition party meeting and their attempt to fight BJP as a united front and reportedly said, "I have never seen the opposition parties squirm like they are doing now. Those who used to abuse, are now doing the saashtaang pranaam, they are bowing down. This is their compulsion."

Adding to the PM reportedly said, "It’s clear from their nervousness that the public has made up its mind to bring the BJP government in the 2024 elections. That’s why these parties are freaking out, and have decided they will mislead the public before the elections, level false allegations and gain power.”

PM also mentioned the claims of corruption against several opposition leaders and said that they as a united front is offering, "a guarantee of corruption". Modi reportedly said, "From helicopter to Submarine, there is no sector which has not been preyed upon by the hand of the Congress. Look at RJD, thousands of crores allegations they face. RJD corruption is so big, that even courts are tired. They are giving out convictions one after that other. In Tamil Nadu, DMK has allegations of gathering property in an illegal way. Even TMC has allegations of over Rs 23,000 crore, the people of West Bengal can’t forget these instances of corruption. NCP has corruption allegations to the tune of Rs 70,000 crore.. the scam metre of these parties never goes down."

Attacking the opposition PM Modi also said, "The BJP has decided that it won’t adopt the path of appeasement and vote bank."

Narendra Modi on UCC 

PM Narendra Modi went on to speak about the Indian Civil Code and addressed the controversy that has surrounded the topic. He reportedly said, "India’s Muslim brothers and sisters should understand which political parties are trying to incite them and trying to profit by destroying them. In the name of the Uniform Civil Code, they are trying to incite them.”

Further, the PM mentioned the developments made for the Pasmanda Muslims by BJP and the active outreach programme for the community, he said, "The lives of our Pasmanda Muslim brothers and sisters have been made hellish by those who do vote bank politics. They live a life of struggle. No one listens to them. They have been discriminated against so much, but there has been no debate on this. Even today, Pasmanda Muslims are not given an equal share. They are thought of as untouchables."

He reportedly added, "They have been discriminated against so much that several generations have had to suffer. But BJP will work for every citizen with the mindset of ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas’. When our booth workers will go with this mindset to Muslim brothers and sisters and help them understand, then all misunderstandings will be cleared.”

He also said those supporting triple talaq were doing grave injustice to Muslim daughters. He reportedly said, “If this was an important aspect of Islam, then why is it not there in Pakistan, Indonesia, Qatar, Jordon, Syria and Bangladesh?” He further said that the practice of triple talaq was removed 80-90 years ago in Egypt and aiming at the people who are against the banning of triple talaq, said, “some people want the license to discriminate against Muslim women all the time through the Triple Talaq noose”.

PM Modi on BJP karyakartas

PM Modi addressed the BJP 'karyakartas' on Tuesday who were selected from across the country for their effective contributions in empowering their respective booths under the party's 'Mera Booth Sabse Majboot' campaign.

Party workers are BJP’s biggest strength, Modi said, adding that Madhya Pradesh has a big role in making the BJP world’s largest party. Addressing the booth workers, PM Modi reportedly said, “I know you all work on your booths and are busy the whole year. There are programmes in the country celebrating 9 years of the Central government. The hard work you put in, I am getting the news of this regularly. When I was in America even then, I was getting news of your efforts. That’s why, after coming from there, meeting you was more joyous. BJP’s biggest power is all you karyakartas.”

"We don’t sit in air-conditioned offices and issue diktats, we brave harsh weather to be with people," PM Modi said to the BJP workers.
