Patna/New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged all countrymen to tread the path shown by the President... “only then can India meet the expectations that the world has from us”.
Addressing a rally in Nawada Thursday, Mr Modi accused political leaders of giving inflammatory statements and speeches for their “political benefit”, and went on to add: “I want to tell countrymen some small-time politicians are hell bent on making irresponsible statements for their political interest... Such statements should end. I want to urge people not to pay attention to such statements, even if Narendra Modi himself says.”
These remarks come in the backdrop of top BJP leaders and NDA ministers making controversial statements and giving provocative speeches on the Dadri killing.
Calling on Hindus and Muslims to “unite in the fight” to eradicate poverty across India, the Prime Minister said, “I have said it earlier too... We have to decide whether Hindus should fight Muslims or poverty... Muslims should decide whether to fight Hindus or poverty... Then only the country will benefit.”
