‘Indian Mujahideen, East India Company’: PM’s jibe at INDIA Opposition alliance
NEW DELHI,JULY 25: Prime Minister Narendra Modi tore into the Opposition parties on the fourth day of the Parliament monsoon session as he spoke on the ruckus in Parliament and the term ‘INDIA’. As many as 26 Opposition parties formed an alliance ahead of the general elections next year and termed it ‘I.N.D.I.A’ or the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance.
The prime minister, at a key BJP Parliamentary party meet, said that merely using the word ‘India’ would not work as the “East India Company had also used India and India was also in the name of Indian Mujahideen”.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended BJP Parliamentary party meet this morning. Attacking the Opposition parties over the ruckus in Parliament due to the Manipur issue, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that he had never seen such a “directionless opposition”.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in the meeting that the Opposition is “scattered and desperate”. The Prime Minister also said that the attitude of the Opposition seems to be such that they do not have the desire to remain in power for a long time.
