Prime Minister Slams Opposition, Says “They Say Osama-Ji”

Hardoi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi targeted at Samajwadi Party and the Congress in Uttar Pradesh adding on an allegation that they are soft on terror. Focusing on the 2008 serial blasts, which took 56 lives and left 200 injured, some parties are sympathetic to terrorists. 

Addressing the rally at Hardoi, Prime Minister Modi accused the erstwhile Uttar Pradesh Government, of seeking to withdraw cases of the terrorist.

“The attitude of the leaders of the Samajwadi Party and the Congress has been even more alarming. These people address a terrorist like Osama as ‘Ji’. These people shed tears over the elimination of terrorists in Batla House encounter,” he said.

“Similarly, in 14 cases of terrorist attacks in Uttar Pradesh, the Samajwadi government had given orders to withdraw the cases from many terrorists. These people were setting off blast after blast, and the Samajwadi Party government was not even allowing these terrorists to be prosecuted,” he added.

BJP has traditionally accused the Congress party of appeasement politics amid its sizeable Muslim base. Once this support got shifted to the Samajwadi Party, the barbs got sharper.

State’s Chief Minister had accused the Akhilesh Yadav’s party of being supporters of Pakistan and its founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Yadav’s father, party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav was dubbed “Maulana Mulayam”. Yogi Adityanath had also alleged that Samajwadi Party is trying to turn the assembly seat of Bhojpur into an “Islamabad”.

Accusing political rivals of playing politics of appeasement, PM Modi today said, “Those who used to stop our festivals owing to their politics of appeasement, they will get an answer from the people of Uttar Pradesh on March 10”.

Another big allegation he made on SP was, “People of Hardoi have seen those days when these people had given a free hand to those using ‘Katta’ and those in ‘Satta’ (power).”
