'Wo ab chal chuke hain…': PM Modi jabs at Congress over Rahul Gandhi's speech | Latest News India | Times Of Ahmedabad

Replying to Motion of Thanks on President’s address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday took a jibe at the “ecosystem and supporters” over their reaction on Rahul Gandhi’s speech in Lok Sabha. Without naming Rahul Gandhi, who had launched scathing attack on the ruling dispensation over the Adani crisis, Prime Minister Modi said that entire ecosystem and their supporters were jubiliant after a member’s speech.

“I watched yesterday how after a member’s speech, the entire ecosystem was jumping in excitement. Some people were very excited and probably slept so well that couldn’t even wake up today,” he said.

He also quoted a couplet by famous Indian poet Jigar Moradabadi to jab at the Opposition.

“ye keh keh ke ham dil ko bahlā rahe haiñ, wo ab chal chuke haiñ wo ab aa rahe haiñ,” PM Modi said, in a veiled jibe at enthusiasm of Congress supporters over Rahul Gandhi’s speech.

The prime minister also hit out at Opposition leaders for skipping the President’s address and mentioned the controversial remark by Congress’s Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.

“When President’s address was going on, some people avoided it.A tall leader even insulted the President. They displayed hatred against ST. When such things were said on TV, the sense of hatred deep within came out. Attempt was made to save oneself after writing a letter later,” he said.

The prime minister said that President Droupadi Murmu’s presence as Head of the Republic is historic and inspiring for the daughters and sisters of the country.

“I extend my thanks to the President’s Address. I got the opportunity earlier also. But this time, along with thanks, I also want to greet her. In her visionary address, the President guided us and crores of Indians. Her presence as the Head of the Republic is historic as well as inspiring for the daughters and sisters of the country,” PM Modi said.

“The President has enhanced the pride of the tribal community. Today, after several years of independence, there is a sense of pride in the tribal community and an increase in their self-confidence. This nation and House are grateful to her for this,” he added.
