He is not the Prime Minister of BJP only, Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister of the whole country including communities be it Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians or others”, Farooq Abdullah said while debunking Yadav’s statement.

Earlier on Friday, Omar Abdullah on Friday termed Lalu Prasad Yadav’s remarks against the Prime Minister as a self-goal for the opposition before the Parliament election. The National Conference is one of the constituents of the Indian National Developme I strongly oppose such remarks against the Prime Minister of the country.
He is not the Prime Minister of BJP only, Narendra Modi is the PM of the whole country.

Personal attacks on PM Modi have adverse consequences for the opposition.
“I am against such slogans because BJP effectively exploits such statements and remarks to reach out to the people," Omar said, but added that Lalu Prasad Yadav is very senior to him in politics as well as in age.
He observed that personal attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi have adverse consequences for the opposition. He pointed out that slogans related to the Prime Minister's family were like a self-goal by the opposition or keeping a goal without a goalkeeper.
“I have never supported such slogans. In fact, they prove detrimental to our cause. Voters are more concerned about practical issues they face today,” he said.
Omar pointed out that opposition should raise issues like employment opportunities, agricultural distress, stagnation in the rural economy, etc. rather than indulge in personal attacks.
RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav said on Sunday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not a Hindu and accused him of spreading hatred.
Lalu Prasad recalled that Prime Minister Modi didn't get his head shaved on his mother's death while mentioning the ritual of getting his head tonsured on the deaths of acquaintances. |
