People cannot be misled merely by the use of the country's name, he said...
Digital Desk: Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed the opposition alliance on Tuesday for its new name, INDIA, calling it "directionless" and citing the "Indian Mujahideen" and "Popular Front of India."
"I have never seen such a directionless opposition," BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad quoted the Prime Minister as saying at the weekly meeting of the BJP parliamentary party.
At a meeting of 26 parties last week in Bengaluru to discuss strategies for the national election in 2024, PM Modi also criticized the opposition coalition over the name it chose itself: INDIA, an acronym for the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance.
Prasad quoted the Prime Minister as saying, "They keep praising themselves for the name INDIA.
Indian National Congress. East India Company. Indian Mujahideen. Popular Front of India - these are also INDIA. Just using the name INDIA does not mean anything."
People cannot be misled merely by the use of the country's name, he said.
The scathing remarks came amid a parliamentary impasse over the Manipur crisis and frequent interruptions over the opposition's demand for a statement from Prime Minister Modi on problems like the widely circulated video of two women being paraded naked by a mob and attacked in May.
The Prime Minister described the opposition as "defeated, exhausted, hopeless, with a single-point agenda — opposing Modi." According to reports from PM Modi, their actions demonstrated that they had already decided to remain in the opposition.
He expressed certainty that the BJP would easily win the 2024 elections due to support from the general public.
The Manipur conflict has prevented the government from introducing key legislation in parliament. Since the monsoon session began last Thursday, one day after the Manipur horror film surfaced, both houses of parliament have been postponed numerous times without much business being completed.
PM Modi stated in his remarks before the session that his heart was filled with pain and anger. "No guilty will be spared, I want to tell the nation. The law will be followed in taking action. There is no forgiveness for what happened to the daughters of Manipur," he declared.
The opposition, which made its parliamentary debut this session as the "INDIA" coalition, demanded that the Prime Minister address both houses of parliament in detail. The opposition is charged with purposefully obstructing legislation with its protests, according to the government, which has invited discussion on Manipur in both houses.
