Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, accusing it of siding with the Pakistani Army and “fostering” its agenda during Operation Sindoor.
Speaking at a massive rally in Assam’s Darrang, PM Modi said, “For its politics, the Congress associates with such ideology which is against India. The same was seen during Operation Sindoor. When the Congress was in power, the entire country was bleeding from terrorism, and the Congress stood silently by. In every corner of Pakistan, the leaders of the terrorists were destroyed, but the Congress stood with the Pakistani army instead of the Indian army.”
The Prime Minister further alleged that Congress has repeatedly failed to back India’s armed forces. “Instead of standing with our army, the people of the Congress party promote the agenda of those who foster terrorists. The lies of Pakistan become the agenda of Congress. That is why you have to always be cautious of Congress,” he added.
Modi accused the Congress of prioritising vote-bank politics over national security. “Today, the Congress has become a great protector of the infiltrators and the anti-nationals. When Congress was in power, it used to promote infiltration, and today Congress wants the infiltrators to settle in India forever and determine India's future,” he alleged.
The Prime Minister also hit out at Congress for “insulting” Assam’s cultural icon Bhupen Hazarika. “When the 'Namdaar' beats the 'Kamdaar' and if the 'Kamdaar' cries out in pain, they torture him even more, saying that you don’t even have the right to cry. The people of the country, music lovers, art lovers, people who are giving their lives for the soul of India, should ask the Congress why they insulted Bhupen Da?”
Alongside his fiery speech, PM Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of major infrastructure and industrial projects worth over ₹18,530 crore in Assam.
In Darrang, he laid the foundation stone for Darrang Medical College and Hospital, a GNM School, and a B.Sc. Nursing College to boost healthcare and medical education. He also launched the Guwahati Ring Road Project to decongest traffic and the Kuruwa-Narengi Bridge over the Brahmaputra, aimed at improving connectivity and regional growth.
