Assam Election | Congress always echoes “song lyrics by Pakistan” and undermine armed forces of Bharat: PM Modi
Guwahati: Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the Congress party at a massive election rally in Barpeta Road, accusing it of echoing “song lyrics by Pakistan” and undermining India’s armed forces. “To defame Modi, the Congress party curses the valour of our brave army. Whether it is surgical strike or air strike, Congress always pumps the agenda of the enemy,” Modi charged, drawing cheers from the crowd. During the ‘Operation Sindoor’, our armed forces compelled Pakistan to come down on its knees, but Congress sang the same song which was written by Pakistanis. The Pakistan connection of Congress leaders is always a heavy burden on the country, PM Modi said. The Congress party has betrayed our armed forces by denying One Rank One Pension (OROP) for decades. It is the BJP-NDA government which has deposited Rs 1.25 lakh crores into the accounts of our ex-servicemen.

Assam has paid a huge price for it. Srimata Shankardev, Madhabdev, Damudar Aata, Haridas Aata and their Satras are the heart of Assamese spirituality. But Congress handed over the land of Satras to illegal infiltrators. The Congress party let the infiltrators grab land if Satras, forests, and tribal land. The BJP government is evicting these illegal encroachments and now distributing land rights to indigenous, tribal and tea workers communities.” PM Modi further urged
In a fiery election rally in Barpeta Road, Assam, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the Indian National Congress, accusing the party of echoing "song lyrics by Pakistan" and undermining India's armed forces. Modi's comments came as he sought to rally support ahead of the upcoming state elections, highlighting what he perceived as the Congress party's betrayal of India's military and its alleged ties to Pakistan.
Addressing a massive crowd, Modi accused the Congress of using its platform to defame him by cursing the valour of India's brave army. He claimed that the party consistently pumps the agenda of the enemy, whether it is referring to surgical strikes or air strikes. Modi further stated that during the "Operation Sindoor," when India's armed forces compelled Pakistan to back down, the Congress party sang the same song that had been written by Pakistanis. He described the Pakistan connection of Congress leaders as a heavy burden on the country.
Modi also criticized the Congress for betraying India's armed forces by denying One Rank One Pension (OROP) benefits for decades. He highlighted that it was the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government that had deposited Rs 1.25 lakh crores into the accounts of ex-servicemen, ensuring their well-being.
In addition to targeting the Congress's alleged ties to Pakistan, Modi accused the party of handing over the land of Satras—the spiritual heart of Assamese culture—to illegal infiltrators. He pointed out that the Congress allowed infiltrators to grab land in Satras, forests, and tribal areas. Modi praised the BJP government for its efforts to evict these illegal encroachments and distribute land rights to indigenous, tribal, and tea workers communities.
PM Modi urged the people of Assam to remain vigilant, slamming the Congress for openly supporting illegal infiltrators and opposing anti-encroachment evictions. He warned that the Congress was pushing legislation that would criminalize the term "infiltrators," portraying them as victims while threatening indigenous and tribal communities with jail terms for speaking out.
Modi's comments came as part of a broader campaign by the BJP to paint the Congress as a party that prioritizes external agendas over the interests of India's armed forces and its citizens. The prime minister's remarks were met with cheers from the crowd, who seemed to embrace his critique of the Congress and its perceived betrayal of India's military and cultural heritage.
As the Assam election campaign intensifies, Modi's attack on the Congress is likely to resonate with voters who are wary of the party's alleged ties to Pakistan and its handling of sensitive issues such as land encroachment and the welfare of India's armed forces. The BJP, on the other hand, positions itself as the defender of India's military, culture, and the rights of its indigenous and tribal communities, seeking to capitalize on these concerns to secure a stronghold in the state.
In response to Modi's accusations, Congress leaders have denied any ties to Pakistan and have accused the BJP of engaging in baseless propaganda. They argue that the BJP's focus on such issues is a distraction from its own failures in governance and economic management.
Despite these counter-arguments, Modi's speech underscores the deep-seated distrust between the two major political parties in India, with each side accusing the other of prioritizing external agendas over the nation's interests. As the Assam election approaches, this distrust is likely to shape the political discourse and influence voters' decisions, with both parties vying for control of the state.
In conclusion, Prime Minister Modi's attack on the Congress party during the Assam election rally highlights the ongoing rivalry between the two major political forces in India. By accusing the Congress of echoing Pakistan's song lyrics and undermining India's armed forces, Modi seeks to mobilize support for the BJP-led NDA government. Meanwhile, the Congress party vehemently denies these allegations, arguing that the BJP's focus on such issues is a ploy to divert attention from its own shortcomings. The Assam election will thus serve as a litmus test for the effectiveness of these accusations and the ability of each party to connect with the voters on the ground.
