Press Note 22/10/2016

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not made any statement about his approach towards Pakistan even as film personalities like Karan Johar have announced that they would not engage any Pakistani artist. Pointing this out, national spokesperson of Congress and party MLA from Abdasa, Shaktisinh Gohil said that Modi has not said that he would not invite Prime Minister of Pakistan as he had invited Primed Minister of Pakistan in his swearing in cxeremony without any such protocol. Modi has not said that he would not visit Pakistan and hug Prime Minister as he did in the past. He would not invite Joint Investigation team of Pakistan, would not present shawl to the daughter of Pak PM and return sari and would not exchange mangoes with his Pakistan counterpart. He should come out with unequivocal statement that he would not repeat any misadventure with Pakistan and would not insult Indian Army by making political statements undermining the forces. He said that all including President and vice President of the Congress were proud of our defence forces. None has doubted surgical strikes by the Army.

As pointed out by General Bikram Singh Army had surgical strikes in the past also. In view of this, is it not an insult of Indian Army when BJP President and Defence Minister said that there were no surgical strikes in the past? Will Prime Minister ask these leaders to apologise to General Bikram Singh and Army for making such statement? Is it not insult of Army to say that surgical strikes were because of RSS training?

Prime Minister has visited 44 countries in two years and four months. But now he is making frequent visits to Gujarat. This is just because BJP was routed in civic elections and Assembly elections were approaching. BJP’s defeat is written on wall. This is just an election stunt. He should work for the interest of people of Gujarat who voted him to power. Gujarat was benefitted a lot by the centre on issues ranging from health to MNREGA and Kerosene to agriculture produce when UPA was in power. But now there is lot of injustice to Gujarat during BJP rule. Gohil demanded that Modi should declare the list of issues pending with centre. He said that Modi used to make political statement about pending issues, but he has not solved even a single issue.
