‘Congress becoming puppet of anti-India forces’: PM Modi accuses party of creating panic amid global war-like situation

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday accused the Indian National Congress of attempting to create panic among the public for political gains at a time when war-like conditions are prevailing in several parts of the world.

Addressing a gathering in Assam, Modi alleged that the opposition party was trying to exploit the situation instead of acting responsibly. “Congress is making every attempt to create panic within the country, hoping that the nation gets entangled in difficulties so that they can later heap endless abuse upon Modi,” the Prime Minister said.

Speaking at a public event in Assam, the Prime Minister criticised the Congress over its irresponsible role. Modi said the party had failed to act responsibly at this critical juncture. “At this moment, it was expected that Congress would behave like a responsible political entity. However, it has once again failed in this vital task concerning national interest,” he said.

PM Modi also claimed that the opposition party is working under some global forces, which are uncomfortable with India’s rapid growth. “The forces across the globe that cannot digest India’s rapid development—Congress is increasingly becoming a mere puppet in the hands of these very forces,” he said.
