โ€œWhat About Rallies?โ€ Priyanka Gandhi Slams Modi Over โ€˜Covid Spread Paapโ€™ Remarks

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra

Panaji: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his โ€˜Covid Spread Paapโ€™ remarks. She attacked Modi questioned rallies that were being conducted during covid not the reason for the spike in cases?

Narendra Modi accused the party and said that Congress gave free train tickets to migrants to leave Maharashtra which lead to the spread of Covid in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. On this Priyanka Gandhi asks if PM Modi wanted the poor to be left helpless when they were returning to their homes on foot.

Speaking to media persons on Panaji, the Congress leader said, โ€œPeople whom he had deserted, who had no way of returning to their homes, who were coming back on foot โ€“ did he want that nobody should help them? What did Modi Ji want? What does he want?โ€

โ€œWhat about the big rallies he did?โ€ she remarked while alleging that PM Modi conducted rallies during Covid.

Modi slammed opposition and said that they sinned by asking migrants to travel during a pandemic. He said, โ€œWhen health experts were telling people to stay where they are, you sinned by telling migrants you would give them tickets. You encouraged people (from Bihar and other) to travel. The Delhi government too organized buses to make migrants travel. The result โ€“ the pandemic spread in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Punjab. What kind of politics is this?โ€

Listing the states from where Congress is out of power since years, PM Modi said, โ€œTake, for instance, people of Nagaland voted for you in 1998, Since then you didnโ€™t win. Odisha also hasnโ€™t voted for you for 24 years. Goa hasnโ€™t voted for you as a majority for years. In Bengal, they voted for you in 1972, in Tamil Nadu, too, they voted last for you in 1962.โ€

Further, he says that he has decided to stay in power for 100 years. โ€œFrom your words, from your actions, it seems to me that you have decided that you donโ€™t want to come to power for 100 years. So I have also prepared for it,โ€ says PM Modi.

The Court has decided to hear the petition of the five girls questioning the restriction on wearing hijab today.

Ahead of the court hearing massive crowd of students started protesting where one group started wearing head scarves and group of boys waving saffron scarf gathered outside a college in Karnataka this morning.

As two groups stood at the gates of the MGM college in Udupi, a large number of policemen were called in to control the chaos.

Students wearing saffron scarves and headgears were allowed to enter the college as young women in the hijab stayed outside the gates, protesting what they alleged was discrimination.

The controversy started last month at the Government Girls PU college in Udupi district as six students alleged that they had been barred from classes for wearing headscarf and many Muslim girls took up the practice in protest.

Right-wing groups in Udupi and Chikkamagaluru objected to headscarves and the protests spread across the state. In retaliation, many students turned up in saffron scarves. Dalit students adopted blue scarves in support of hijab-wearing girls.

Two colleges declared holiday to avoid communal trouble. Another college allowed students wearing the hijab in separate classrooms.

Education Minister BC Nagesh has said students who insist on wearing hijab (head scarves) not be allowed into government educational institutions. He also ordered that women protesters be confined to a separate room of the colleges.
