Congress, Mayawati Attack PM Modi Post Uri Terror Speech

Congress and BSP mounted fresh attacks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday as they criticised his reaction to the 18 September Uri attack, that left 18 soldiers dead.

Congress said that PM Modi had failed to spell out the concrete steps to avert an Uri-type attack and that his election promises of tackling terrorism with an iron hand have turned out to be a “bluff”.

BSP president Mayawati said that while it was “good to advice Pakistan's Prime Minister”, PM Modi needed to “introspect his government's record till date”.

Seems PM Modi Will Contest Next Pakistan Elections, Says Congress

“Seems like Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to contest the next elections in Pakistan”, said Congress leader Manish Tewari in response to PM Modi's spech post the Uri terror attack.

On Twitter, Tewari raised questions on Modi government's foreign policy over the presence of Russian troops in Pakistan.

In light of the Uri terror attack, Congress on Sunday said the Bharatiya Janata Party should have delayed its “grandiose” national executive meet being held in the Kerala city of Kozhikode.

Kerala state Congress President VM Sudheeran criticised the BJP, saying the meet was being held when the national security of the country has been affected by the attack in Uri that left 18 soldiers dead.

Instead of speaking at the grandiose event of their party going on in Kozhikode, Prime Minister Narendra Modi should have called (a special session of) parliament. He should have addressed these issues in parliament and not at a party meeting.

The Congress leader also took a dig at Modi for his alleged failure in keeping the promises he had made to the people of Kerala during his earlier visits to the state.

The price of rubber is at rock bottom. He (Modi) had assured that price of agricultural produce would be taken care of but nothing has happened, and also his promise on enacting new laws to amend the present Coastal Regulation Zone has also not taken place, leaving thousands of fishermen unable to renovate their homes.

With the Prime Minister issuing a blunt warning to Pakistan that the Uri attack will not be forgotten and that the sacrifice of 18 soldiers will not go in vain, Congress chief spokesman Randeep Surjewala said Modi's speech failed to convey message on the steps to be taken to tackle terror.

PM Modi's speech failed to convey message on the conrete steps to tackle terrorism and avert Uri type attacks.Election promises were bluff.

Mayawati Asks Modi to Introspect Before Advising Pakistan

In light of the Uri attack, Bahujan Samajwadi Party supremo Mayawati on Sunday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his “failure” to prevent terrorist attacks in the nation. 

It is good to advice Pakistani counterpart to concentrate on welfare his people. PM should also introspect of working of his government. There is anger among people of the country after the killing of 18 soldiers in Uri attack. People expect concrete assurance and effective action from PM to check recurrence of such an incident.

Mayawati, BSP Chief

She said instead of framing any “long term policy” to counter such attacks, the Modi government is “misleading” the people and is trying to divert the attention by advising Pakistan to fight “unemployment, poverty, illiteracy”.

On the topic of Jammu and Kashmir, Mayawati said that the situation there could not be controlled in the past three months due to which the “people of the country are concerned”. Alleging that PM Modi was trying to “emotionally blackmail” people ahead of the Assembly polls, Mayawati said advising Pakistan was a “political conspiracy” and people of UP and Punjab should be aware of it.
