TIL Desk/National/Fatehpur/ Coming down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for drawing a parallel between Hindu and Muslim festivals, the Congress has said that it would file a complaint with the the Election Commission of India to take stock of the matter and urged the former to refrain from making such statements which bring ‘disrepute’ to his post.
“The prime minister is invoking communalism in order to polarise voters. The ECI should take note of this because it is a clear violation of its rules and regulations. He has brought disrepute to his post and has violated the principles for which he took his oath. These conservative ideas are subscribed by the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the like minded organisations. It seems that the PM is unable to come out of this mentality. We hope the ECI will take action in this,” Congress.
while addressing a rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Fatehpur, Prime Minister Modi said, “In a village, if a cemetery can be constructed, so should a cremation ground. If electricity is supplied during Ramzan, so electricity should also be supplied during Diwali as well. There should not be any discrimination on the basis of religion and caste.”
The PM also said the ‘exile of development’ must end in Uttar Pradesh, while appealing the people to cast their vote for a government which ensures safety in the state. “‘Vikas ka vanvaas’ in Uttar Pradesh must end now. The country is moving ahead at fast pace and so must Uttar Pradesh,” he said.
