New Delhi. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday addressed an election rally in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan in support of BJP candidate Shubhakaran Chaudhary in Pilani. He fiercely targeted Congress from the stage. He also hit back at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement on Article 370. Targeting the Congress, the Defense Minister said that it questions the Army’s surgical strikes and air strikes. I want to ask Congress whether you have doubts about the bravery or valor of the army. Congress repeatedly tries to question the bravery and valor of the army. All the countries of the world are accepting this truth, but Congress leaders are not ready to accept this.
He further said that ‘the message is clear, India is no longer that India. India has become a powerful country in the world. You must have seen earlier that there used to be major incidents of terrorism in some state or the other. It used to happen in Jammu and Kashmir. Hundreds of people were killed every year due to terrorism. Similar terrorist incidents took place in other states of the country. But, now if any mother’s son has drank mother’s milk, then try committing a terrorist act. We will kill on this side of the border also, if necessary we will go and kill on the other side of the border also. This is the strength of India.
Rajnath Singh said that we want to make India self-reliant even in defense matters, but not to trouble any neighboring country. Former PM of the country Atal Bihari Vajpayee used to say that friends change in life, but neighbors do not change. We want to maintain good relations with all neighboring countries. But good relationships should not be taken advantage of. How can we tolerate this?
The entire country has seen what happened in Sandeshkhali… PM Modi said, TMC wants free hand for violence in Bengal.
Taking a dig at Mallikarjun Kharge, he said that the Congress President is a good man, I do not criticize him. He came here to say what Article 370 has to do with Rajasthan. We had said that the day we get absolute majority in both the Houses of Parliament, no power in the world will be able to stop us from abolishing Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir. We did it and showed it. Today Jammu and Kashmir has the same status as other states of India. Congress President says that what does Rajasthan have to do with Article 370, how will these people run the country.
