Lok Sabha Session: PM Modi Slams Congress, Calls Their Tactics 'Divisive', 'Destructive'

Parliament Session: Prime Minister Narendra Modi responded to the Motion of Thanks on the President's address in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday at around 4 p.m will responded to the Motion of Thanks on the President's address in the Lok Sabha. In Parliament, PM Modi said that the people have given his government a mandate for stability and continuity for the third consecutive term after testing it on every criterion. Replying to a two-day debate on the President's address to both houses of Parliament, the PM said that the people have seen the dedication with which his government served them for 10 years.

Rahul Gandhi's remarks sparked a massive uproar in the Lok Sabha. The BJP has accused the Raebareli MP of "insulting" the Hindu community. Prime Minister Modi also slammed Rahul Gandhi for his remarks, saying that calling "the entire Hindu community violent is a very serious matter." Home Minister Amit Shah demanded that the Congress leader apologise for his remarks.

During the debate on the motion of thanks on the President's Address, Rahul Gandhi attacked the BJP-led government, claiming there has been a "systematic attack" on the idea of India.

While the BJP later held a press conference to condemn Rahul Gandhi's remarks, the Congress held an evening press conference to criticise the ruling party at the Centre. Rahul Gandhi launched a multi-pronged attack on the BJP, citing its remarks during the Lok Sabha campaign, the NEET-UG controversy, and the Agniveer scheme.
