Don’t know whether to be flattered or amused to hear my name four times in the Prime Minister’s mellifluous speech. But I was not amused that he continued to tilt at the windmills of history &reduce a solemn Constitutional occasion into an occasion for a petty political speech.
He asked why those who defend the Constitution supported Article 370. I got up to reply that was because Article 370 was in the Constitution& respect for it was part of our respect for the Constitution (&the democratic processes it provides for which were disregarded on Art.370.)
For Modiji to take credit for the Constitutional Amendment settling the border w/Bangladesh is breathtakingly disingenuous —the only reason that @incIndia initiative was not implemented was BJP obstruction & opposition to it. To imply Congress was the obstacle is sheer gall.
The PrimeMinister saw fit to remind me that I was a son-in-law of Kashmir. As a proud damaad, I ask when Kashmiris will have normalcy restored, when their detained political leaders will be freed, & when Internet will be fully restored so they can enjoy the rights we all have.
प्रधान मंत्री कब तक इतिहास के खिलाफ लड़ेंगे? उन्होंने 1950, नेहरिजी, गांधीजी, पार्टीशन नेताओं के बारे में बोलै. लेकिन इस देश को भविष्य के बारे में सोचने वाले प्रधान मंत्री चाहिए
प्रधान मंत्री बेरोज़गारी, अर्थ-व्यवस्था और विकास के बारे में कुछ नहीं बोला. लोक सभा में विकास का शब्द भी उनका मुंह से नहीं निकला.
