Those who spread negativity must be ignored, PM Modi tells BJP workers

- HT Correspond­ent letters@hindustant­imes.com ■

NEW DELHI: Negativity should not be spread through social media and people spreading materials causing harm to the nation and society should be shunned and ignored, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday during a video interactio­n with BJP workers from his parliament­ary constituen­cy Varanasi.

The prime minister said society can be strengthen­ed only when positivity is spread and promoted. The interactio­n was held through NaMo App.

Replying to a question, he said, “People at times overstep the bounds of decorum. They hear or see something false and forward it. They don’t notice that how much damage they are doing to society. Some people use such words that do not behove any decent society. They say or write anything about women.”

He said that the issue was not about any political party or ideology.

“It is about 125 crore Indians... and everybody should train themselves to never spread dirt through the social media,” the PM said.

The Prime Minister also urged workers to share videos highlighti­ng the changing face of India. The country is witnessing historic and unpreceden­ted progress over the last few years, he told the BJP workers.

Modi said every village in India has now electricit­y, schools and toilets while the country has become the largest manufactur­er of mobile phones.

It has also become the fastest growing economy and fastest growing aviation market with more people flying than travelling in AC trains.
