Everybody is Proud IAF Pilot Abhinandan is From Tamil Nadu, Says Modi at Poll Rally

[Kool_SRG]

India-Pak Tension LIVE: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a BJP rally in Tamil Nadu’s Kanyakumari town, said every Indian is proud that brave Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman is from Tamil Nadu, following it up with the statement that he is proud that India’s first woman defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman is also from Tamil Nadu. This was the first time that the Prime Minister directly spoke about the IAF pilot who has been in Pakistani custody for the last two days.

The PM had made a cryptic reference to the IAF pilot on Thursday after his Pakistani counterpart Imran Khan made the announcement about his release. The Prime Minister, who was present at a science award function said, "You are folks who spend your lives in a laboratory, and are used to conducting pilot projects. A pilot project is followed by scalability. Now a pilot project has been completed. Now we have to make it real. Earlier it was just a practice session".

He also accused the opposition parties of “going against India” and not supporting the country in its fight against terror. “Sadly, a few political parties guided by Modi hatred have gone against India...the world is supporting India's fight against terror but these political parties are against it,” Modi said.

The events of the past few days have shown the capabilities of the armed forces...I salute our forces: PM Modi

"India has been facing terror for a long time, but not anymore. The nation expected the people responsible for terror to be punished but that was never done before. Mumbai attack happened but nothing was done against it. When Uri attacks happened you saw what happened and when pulwama attacks happened you saw what our brave air warriors did. There was a time when news report said that Air Force wanted to take action but UPA did not want them to do anything. Now reports say that armed forces have all the power to do what they want. This is New India," PM Modi said.

Brush Up Your History, Indira Gandhi India's First Woman Defence Minister: Congress To PM Modi

Taking potshots at the Prime Minister, the grand old party wondered if he had ‘missed this chapter during his entire Political Science degree’.

New Delhi: The Congress on Friday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for referring to Nirmala Sitharaman as the country’s first woman defence minister. 

Urging the Prime Minister to brush up his history, the party’s Twitter handle reminded him that Indira Gandhi was the first defence minister of India.

“FYI, Smt Indira Gandhi was the first woman Defence Minister of India – you should brush up your history – in case you missed this chapter during your entire Political Science degree,” the Congress wrote on Twitter.

I am proud that India’s first woman Defence Minister is from Tamil Nadu.

It makes every Indian proud that the brave Wing Commander Abhinandan hails from Tamil Nadu: PM

Gujarat University vice-chancellor MN Patel had earlier claimed the Prime Minister had passed his post-graduation in political science with 62.3 per cent marks.

The reaction from the Opposition party came hours after Modi called Sitharaman the first woman’s defence minister while hailing Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who was then in Pakistan’s captivity and is also a resident of the southern state.

He said every Indian was proud of him and lashed out at political rivals for suspecting the armed forces, an act that helped Pakistan, he said.

After inaugurating several government projects in Kanyakumari, Modi said "I am proud that India's first woman defence mininster Nirmala ji is from Tamil Nadu. Every Indian is proud that the brave wing commander Abhinandan belongs to Tamil Nadu."

The events of the past two days, an apparent reference to IAF’s air strikes and the IAF shooting down a Pakistan jet, have demonstrated yet again the strengths of the country's armed forces, Modi said.

"It has also brought our nation closer," the Prime Minister said, an obvious pointer to the outpouring of support to Abhinandan and India's armed forces from the people.

However, he said, it was sad that a few political parties "suspected our fight against terror."

When the entire nation supported the country's armed forces, they "suspected the armed forces," he said. 

"These are the same people whose statements are helping Pakistan and harming India. They are the same people whose statements are happily quoted in the Parliament of Pakistan and in the radio of Pakistan," Modi said.

He also hit out at the previous Congress-led UPA government for allegedly "blocking," surgical strikes post 26/11 Mumbai attacks in 2008.
