Delivering dialogues like Paresh Rawal: Congress on PM's reaction to Op Sindoor
The Congress on Tuesday launched a fresh attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of a theatrical response similar to that of actors Prem Chopra and Paresh Rawal instead of dealing with the issue seriously when asked questions on sensitive matters, particularly Operation a press briefing, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera further alleged that Prime Minister Modi is speaking the language of trolls while responding to the opposition. He added that missiles should be launched at Pakistan, not at him (PM Modi) in such a serious matter feels like a joke. It becomes quite laughable. This is not a matter to joke about. He is going to different places and delivering dialogues like Prem Chopra, and sometimes like Paresh Rawal. Saying things like, 'My blood has sindoor,' or 'Roti khao, bullets khao'. Is this the Prime Minister of the country?" Khera asked. The Congress leader further alleged that while the country was rallying behind the government after the Pulwama attacks, the BJP was engaged in low-level politics. He accused the BJP of deliberately targeting people and dividing the country on the basis of religion."The most humiliating part is that even after such a tragic attack, the BJP continues with its low-grade politics. Look at the conduct of a national party, when terrorists struck the nation, you were busy indulging in cheap political games. You tried to divide the country on the basis of religion, targeting Muslims in various parts of the country and on social media. This is exactly what groups like LeT and JeM wanted to happen," he added, "When the Prime Minister himself starts speaking the language of a troller, it is a matter of great concern"."In such a situation, we want an answer as to what will happen in the future to the challenges that the country is fighting today? The answer to this can only be found - when the Prime Minister is not inspired by trolls, takes these issues seriously and talks to experts," he added.
