Country in danger as Modi regime decimating institutions: Azad

Leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha and senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Friday said that the country is suffering from serious health issues because its soul was under a constant threat during Narendra Modi led regime.

“We all follow some faith and religion but in politics ourreligion should be guided by our constitution only. People of other countries,who believe in democracy, respect our constitution but unfortunately our ownPrime Minister is not following it,” Azad said while addressing a public rallyat Chowadhi area on the outskirts of the city.

   

“Our country is in danger because Modi government works againstthe constitution and political opponents feel scared, which was not the caseduring the government of the BJP stalwart Atal Bihari Vajpayee who alwaysadvocated healthy opposition.”

Azad said the BJP was dividing people on religious and castelines. “In 2014, the BJP won elections by polarizing voters and creating adivide among Hindus and Muslims. This time the party is repeating its lastelection strategy and once again seeking votes on division instead ofdevelopment,” the former J&K chief minister said.

“The battle of independence was fought by people of allfaiths and Mahatma Gandhi never dreamed of a country where people could beidentified by their religion”.

Seeking support for Congress party, Azad said the health ofthe country badly suffered during last five years. “This time elections arevery critical and we do not need votes to replace the BJP but to save thecountry from further damage and to strengthen our constitutional institutions,”Azad said.

Attacking prime minister for bluntly speaking lies on manyoccasions, Azad said Modi deserves an award for not addressing a single pressconference “because he knows that journalists will ask questions”.

“By speaking frequent lies a narrative has been set thatonly Congress and Nehru-Gandhi family ruled country since independence but inreality only three members of the Nehru family became prime ministers andcountry’s top most position was held by many non-Congress parties and leaders,”Azad said.
