Jamui , Apr 14
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh slammed family members of RJD chief Lalu Prasad for ” jail jibe ” against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying no one in the country would tolerate such statements.
Singh while addressing a public meeting here in Bihar in favour of NDA candidate Arun Bharati for ongoing Lok Sabha elections in Jamui seat, said that family members of RJD chief Lalu Prasad were making statements that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would go to jail if India bloc was voted to power. It was strange to note that those who were either in jail or on bail,were making such statements against Prime Minister Modi, he added while referring to a recent remark of Misa Bharti that PM Modi and other BJP leaders would be sent to jail for corruption charges if INDIA bloc was voted to power.
” People of the country will not tolerate any such statement against Prime MinisterModi”, the Union Minister said adding that the Narendra Modi government had fulfilled all its promises made during last Lok Sabha. elections. Article 370 relating to Jammu and Kashmir was scrapped in one stroke soon after the Narendra Modi government was voted to power for a second term in 2016, he added.
Singh also a senior BJP leader, said that triple talaq was declared illegal and provision was made for punishment against those practicing it. A large number of Muslim women were subjected to torture and harassment due to triple talaq and Narendra Modi’s government had taken a bold decision to end this practice which improved the quality of life of Muslim women, he added.
Union Minister said that BJP had never been indulged in politics based on caste and creed. The decision was taken to wipe out the system of triple talaq irrespective of its political consequences, he stressed.
