PM Modi’s Fresh Attack Uncovers DMK Double Standard in Katchatheevu Row

PM Modi’s Fresh Attack Uncovers DMK Double Standard in Katchatheevu Row

As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) steps up its campaign in Tamil Nadu for the Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi publicly criticized the Congress party and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) on Monday. Prime Minister Modi stated, “The DMK’s double standard has been exposed,” citing recent information about Katchatheevu.

India’s claim to the island was renounced in an agreement with Sri Lanka signed in 1974 by the Indian government, led by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The island had historically been used by Indian fishermen; therefore, this plan was met with strong criticism, especially in Tamil Nadu. Era Sezhiyan, a DMK MP, has vehemently opposed it in Parliament, calling it a transfer of territory without due process.

According to a now-published source, M. Karunanidhi, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu at the time, met with Indian officials prior to the Center’s announcement and gave his general approval to the arrangement. The media article is based on an RTI response that Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai obtained in response to his inquiries concerning the 1974 Indo-Lanka pact, which was signed during the tenure of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

According to the report, Karunanidhi said that he would be willing to accept the arrangement once he was informed about it. In a post on X, Modi stated, “DMK has done nothing to safeguard Tamil Nadu’s interests, rhetoric aside.” “DMK and Congress are families. Their sons and daughters’ success is all that matters to them. They have no regard for other people. The prime minister continued, “Our poor fishermen and fisherwomen in particular have suffered from their callousness on Katchatheevu.”

The lone building on the island is St. Anthony’s Shrine, which is located in Katchatheevu. Indian fishermen are permitted to come here for net drying and rest, as well as to attend the yearly St. Anthony’s festival, as per the agreement made in June 1974. They still risk being detained by the Sri Lankan government, though. On Sunday, the prime minister aimed at the Congress about the matter.

He added, “Weakening India’s unity, integrity, and interests has been the Congress’ way of working for 75 years and counting.” The topic has been raised by the prime minister previously. Modi stated that the Tamil Nadu government continues to write to him, pleading with him to “take back Katchatheevu” during the Parliament’s monsoon session last year. The treatment of its own Tamil citizens and fishermen in Tamil Nadu by neighboring Sri Lanka has long been a contentious political issue in the state, and the BJP is hoping that this issue will help them in their attempts to gain political traction in the Dravidian territory during the Lok Sabha polls.

Arvind Kejriwal Top Quotes: ‘I Didn’t Resign from Delhi CM Post Because…

Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, spoke at his first rally in New Delhi on Saturday, one day after he was freed on temporary bail. Kejriwal, who served about 50 days in jail, attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in an intense address. He also threatened to put the main opposition leader behind bars should the BJP win the Lok Sabha elections.

The Aam Admi Party convenor was granted provisional bail by the Supreme Court on Friday, valid until June 1. The Delhi Chief Minister is unable to discuss his involvement in the Delhi liquor scam case, though, due to the conditions of his release.

Here’s what Arvind Kejriwal said at the rally:

  • “I’m coming right to you from jail. It’s wonderful to be back with you after fifty days. Recently, my spouse and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann visited the Hanuman temple. We have the blessings of Bajrang Bali for our celebration. His grace has allowed me to be here with you today.
  • Our Aam Aadmi Party is a little organization that operates in two states. However, the Prime Minister did all in her power to destroy our party and imprisoned four of its leaders at the same time. Parties come to an end when four of their senior leaders are imprisoned. The Prime Minister is determined to destroy the AAP because, in his own words, “the AAP is the party that will give the country its future.”
  • In 75 years, no other party has experienced this kind of harassment. The Prime Minister claims to be combating corruption, yet his party is full of thieves. I did not resign as CM because there was a plot to have me do so on the pretext of a false case.
  • “The people of the country removed a dictator whenever he attempted to seize power. Once more, a dictator seeks to destroy democracy today. I am battling that tyranny, but I am powerless on my own. I have come to implore the 140 crore people to stand with me in rescuing the nation from this despot.”
  • “I have 21 days to go across the nation under the Supreme Court’s directive. I give the nation every drop of my blood.

  • “After being released from jail, I spoke with pollsters and other individuals for the last twenty hours, and I learned that the BJP will not become the government. The AAP will function as a component of the central government.
  • These individuals inquire about the faces of the Indian bloc. I want the BJP to nominate a prime minister. The 75th birthday of Modi ji is September 17, 2020. He had established the stipulation that retirees would be 75 years of age. LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, and Sumitra Mahajan were retired.”They would remove Yogi Adityanath from office before appointing Amit Shah as prime minister of the nation if their administration is established. Votes for Amit Shah are being requested by PM Modi. Will Amit Shah keep his promise to Modi?

Arvind Kejriwal Warns Yogi Adityanath: ‘Amit Shah to Be PM’ – BJP Politics Unfolds

Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, asserted on Saturday that Amit Shah, the home minister, will replace Yogi Adityanath as prime minister of India should the BJP win power. He stated that because PM Modi would reach 75 next year, he will step down from active politics. Speaking to an assembly the day after being freed on provisional bail, Arvind Kejriwal declared that all major opposition leaders would face imprisonment should the BJP create a government at the center once more. In two months, he said, Yogi Adityanath would no longer be the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh.

“They will ruin the political careers of BJP leaders (Nipta denge) and lock up opposition politicians. Hemant Soren, a minister in our ministry and a political party member of Mamata Banerjee, is incarcerated. The opposition leaders, including Mamata Banerjee, MK Stalin, Tejashwi Yadav, Pinarayi Vijayan, Uddhav Thackeray, and others, would go to jail if they win again. The political careers of Raman Singh, ML Khattar, Vasundhara Raje, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, LK Advani, and Murli Manohar Joshi are over. It’s Yogi Adityanath next. In two months, if they win this election, they’ll replace the current Uttar Pradesh chief minister,” Kejriwal declared.

Arvind Kejriwal cited the BJP’s regulation that states no leader may remain in active politics once they are 75, pointing out that PM Modi will pass the mark on September 17 of the next year. “These people ask about the INDIA alliance’s prime minister. Who will serve as your prime minister, I ask the BJP? On September 17, PM Modi will be 75. He ruled that party leaders would go down after 75 years. “After forcing LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Sumitra Mahajan, and Yashwant Sinha to step down, he announced that PM Modi would follow suit on September 17th,” he said.

Arvind Kejriwal Accuses ‘Dictator’ Modi of Plotting AAP’s Downfall, Day After Bail

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday, a day after the BJP leader was freed on temporary bail following a 50-day jail sentence. He said that Modi intended to dissolve the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Arvind and Sunita Kejriwal paid a visit to Delhi’s renowned Hanuman Temple in Connaught Place on Saturday morning, demonstrating their resolve and support for Hinduism. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to Arvind Kejriwal, jailed four of the AAP’s top leaders at the same time.

The most well-known members of the AAP, Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Satyendra Jain, were detained by federal officials on suspicion of corruption. Sanjay Singh was just released on normal bond from prison. Manish Sisodia served as Arvind Kejriwal’s deputy in the Delhi administration until his arrest in February 2023. Arvind Kejriwal claimed that PM Modi believed the AAP would determine the future of the country.

Two states are home to our little Aam Aadmi Party. However, the Prime Minister spared no effort to destroy our party, imprisoning four of its leaders at the same time. Large parties dissolve when four of their senior leaders are imprisoned. “PM Modi feels that AAP is the party that will give the country its future, and he wants to crush them,” the Prime Minister stated. No other party, according to Arvind Kejriwal, has endured this kind of harassment in the previous 75 years.

He added that the country’s democracy is being sought after by a tyrant, alluding to PM Modi. “The people of the nation overthrew dictators whenever they attempted to seize power. Once more, a tyrant seeks to eliminate democracy today.Although I am battling that despot, I am powerless on my own. I’ve come to ask 140 crore people to stand with me in rescuing this dictatorship from the country.I have twenty-one days to travel across the nation, under the Supreme Court’s order. “I give the nation every drop of my blood,” he continued.

Arvind Kejriwal went on to say that opposition figures including Mamata Banerjee, MK Stalin, Tejashwi Yadav, Pinarayi Vijayan, and Uddhav Thackeray would go to jail if the BJP won the Lok Sabha elections. He declared that Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Murli Manohar Joshi, and LK Advani were no longer in politics. “Yogi Adityanath is up next. He declared, “They will replace the current Uttar Pradesh chief minister in two months if they win this election.
