CONG WILL PLACE PANJA
the Congress will seize from citizens in compliance with its plan for redistribution of wealth.
“He (Rahul Gandhi) says that if his party comes to power, all what is possessed by the common man will be probed and taken in government control and distributed to others. This is in their manifesto...women in our families retain gold jewellery which is not only for wearing at functions but is their legal right as ‘streedhan’. They (Congress) plan to amend the law to snatch gold, including ‘mangalsutra’ (symbol of marriage) from our mothers and sisters. They are bent upon stealing it,” Modi said.
“The Congress regime plans to survey what all the salaried class has...your vehicles, land etc...and all will be seized and distributed. If you have one house in the city and other in the paternal village, one will be snatched and the one not owning a house will get it,” he said.
“This thought is driven by Communist ideology or that of Maoist thinking from which many nations have suffered. Congress and its alliance partners want to implement it here in India...as such Congress will place ‘panja’ (party symbol hand) on your assets, which will no more be safe in the Congress regime,” he said.
“These leaders, offspring of ‘pariwarwad’ (dynastic rule) have themselves amassed huge wealth and now have dishonest eyes on property owned by citizens .... in fact the Congress finds it their birth right. In every defence deal in the Congress regime after independence, there were scams and the Congress would have never allowed projects like Defence Corridor (for manufacturing indigenous defence items) in Aligarh as it would have hit their interests,” the prime minister said.
On Sunday, the prime minister had claimed that the Congress manifesto promised “redistribution” of wealth after conducting a survey.
Citing former prime minister Manmohan Singh’s 2006 remark on Muslims having the “first claim” on the country’s resources, Modi had said in Rajasthan’s Banswara that the Congress was set to hand over the wealth of others to “infiltrators” and “those who have more children”.
On Monday, reaching out to Muslims, he mentioned the changes for making Haj easy by increasing Haj quota and relaxation in visa after discussion with Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.
Modi said his government also fulfilled the dreams of thousands of sisters who wished to go for Haj.
“Earlier, due to less Haj
quota, there used to be a lot of fighting and corruption was also prevalent and only the influential people would get the chance to go to Haj. I had requested the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia to increase the Haj quota for our Muslim brothers and sisters in India. Today, not only has India’s Haj quota increased but visa rules have also been made easier,” he said.
“We took another major decision and made it possible for Muslim women to go alone without Mehram to Haj by changing the rules. Thousands of Muslim sisters who had their dream fulfilled to go for Haj thanked me for this,” Modi said.
He also said Congress and Samajwadi Party always get worried whenever he tries to discuss the plight of Pasmanda Muslims as these parties have not done anything for the uplift for the community.
“When I talk about Pasmanda (backward Muslims) they (Congress, SP) have objections. While benefits were reaped by those in top position, Pasmanda Muslims were neglected. Triple Talaq had not only affected women but the whole family. Modi bought law against Triple Talaq to save them,” he said.
Earlier, beginning his address with Bharat Mata Ki Jai and Radhey Radhey, Modi said for him “janata” (public) is “Bhagwan” (God).
“When I came to Aligarh the last time, I asked you to place a lock on the politics of the Congress and the SP, but you placed such a lock that both Shehzade (Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav) are still searching for the keys to that lock of Aligarh. You have the keys to Viksit Bharat and your vote can remove poverty, corruption, dynastic rule and for this we need...Modi sarkar,” he said.
“It is the time of marriages and harvest. Though the temperature is too high, nothing is bigger than the nation, so cast your vote before breakfast as every vote counts,” Modi said.
It was their one vote which changed the situation in Kashmir because of the abrogation of Article 370, he added.
“First-time voters might be too young but can know from elders about the past when there used to advertisements cautioning against unclaimed objects in the public as they could be bombs. There used to be riots and curfew, but all changed with chief minister Yogi Adityanath coming to power,” he said.
Listing welfare schemes, he said it is not Modi who has done all this, but it was one vote of the citizens which brought Modi to power.
“What I have done in 10 years is merely a trailer as we have lot to do in third term. I will not take rest...I have decided that your dreams are my sankalp (commitment) .... my whole life is for you and the nation .... I am not born to celebrate but to work hard... I will do all for you,” Modi said amid applause.
ON SUNDAY, THE PM HAD CLAIMED THAT THE CONGRESS MANIFESTO PROMISED “REDISTRIBUTION” OF WEALTH AFTER CONDUCTING A SURVEY.
