Had the Congress divided the country properly, Kartarpur Sahib would not have to be seen through a telescope: PM Modi

Chandigarh, May 23 (HS). Prime Minister and senior BJP leader Narendra Modi on Thursday attacked the Indian alliance and Congress in Patiala, Punjab. He said that Congress divided the country on one hand and messed it up. The result was that for 70 years people had to look at Kartarpur Sahib through binoculars.

The Prime Minister addressed an election meeting here today in support of Patiala candidate Preneet Kaur and others.

The Prime Minister described the Aam Aadmi Party and Congress, which are fighting separately in Punjab and together in Delhi and Haryana, as one. He said that in Punjab, both the parties are fighting separately for show but there is only one shop of claw and broom. He said that on one side the country is facing BJP and NDA, on the other side there is ED-alliance of corrupt people, Indi alliance which has neither leader nor intentions. IDI-alliance wants to divide the society and the country but Modi wants to develop India.

Enumerating the achievements of his government regarding Punjab, senior BJP leader Modi said that whether it is national defense, protection of faith and culture or development of the country, Punjab and the Sikh community have always moved forward. At the same time, for the sake of power, Congress divided the country in such a way that for 70 years the devotees had to see Kartarpur Sahib through binoculars. If he had been managing the country at the time of Bangladesh's independence, the Kartarpur Corridor would have been taken in exchange for Pakistan leaving more than 90 thousand soldiers. He tried to contribute to the service of his gurus. Today the Kartarpur corridor is in front of everyone and all the devotees are going there easily.

He said that the Modi government has decided to exempt langar service from tax. Earlier, there was no arrangement for taking donations from foreign countries in Harmandir Sahib. These rules were changed and today Harmandir Sahib can be served from any corner of the world. Modi government declared Veer Bal Diwas dedicated to the bravery of Sahibzadas, but there are still some people in Punjab who are not aware of the importance of Veer Bal Diwas. Families of Punjab observe penance and fast for many days and sleep on the ground for this important day, but other parts of the country were not aware of such a huge sacrifice and sacrifice.

The senior BJP leader said that Sikh families were in trouble in Afghanistan, but his government brought them all safely to India. The ministers of the BJP government brought back the Guru Granth Sahib to India with respect by placing them on their heads. They bow their heads in respect for the sacrifice and martyrdom of the Gurus. This feeling of 'Sabka Saath' and 'Sabka Vikas' is the identity of the BJP and the NDA.

He said what has the staunch corrupt done to Punjab? Industries and businesses are migrating from here, drug trade is flourishing. Here sand mining mafia, drugs mafia and shooter gangs operate as per their whims. The entire government is running on debt, all the ministers are having fun and the paper chief minister has no time to attend the Delhi court. Indi-aligned people are deeply communal. They are extreme casteists. These are extreme familyists. They can betray anyone for power.

The Prime Minister said that the BJP government gives priority to farmers' welfare. In the last 10 years, there was a record purchase of wheat and paddy from Punjab. In 10 years we have increased the MSP two and a half times.
