Congress has humiliated every institution, says PM Modi

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ In a scathing attack at Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the Congress has become more cunning since the Emergency and accused it of humiliating every institution, including courts and the Army. He also hit back at the opposition party for demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the Rafale fighter jet deal even after the Supreme Court gave a clean chit to the government.

The Prime Minister’s attack came during his interaction with party workers from Puducherry, Vellore, Kanchipuram, Viluppuram and South Chennai through video-conferencing. “The Congress continuously attacked the Election Commission. They try to create an atmosphere of doubt against the pillar of democracy. However, when the same Election Commission declares results which they like, they seem to be fine with it,” he said.

He said not only the Election Commission, they have also humiliated the Army, the CAG and every institution important to democracy. “Take the case of courts. Recently they questioned a Supreme Court verdict just because they didn’t like the decision. They tried to even impeach Chief Justice,” he said. Modi said the last time when the Congress tried to threaten democracy, the people ensured it was stopped.
