'Shehzada says ...': PM Modi sharpens attack, says Cong will steal 'gold of mothers & sisters'

PM Narendra Modi with Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath and other party leaders at a public rally in Aligarh.

Addressing a public rally in Aligarh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on April 22, once again said the Congress will “take control of people’s wealth and distribute it”.

"I want to warn the countrymen. Congress and the INDI alliance have their eyes on your earnings and your property. The 'Shehzada' of Congress says that if their government comes to power, they will investigate who earns how much, who has how many properties...Our mothers and sisters have gold. It is 'stree dhan', it is considered sacred, the law also protects it. Now these people's eyes are on the 'Mangalsutra' of women. Their intention is to steal the gold of mothers and sisters...," said the PM.

He also said the Congress will take away " ancestor's home in your village and a small flat in your city you purchased for the future of your children". "This is Maovadi thinking, this is the thinking of communists. By doing this they have already ruined many countries. Now this same policy the Congress Party and INDI alliance want to implement in India..." he said.

According to the PM, due to less Haj quota, only the influential people would get the chance to go to Haj. "I had requested the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia to increase the Haj quota for our Muslim brothers and sisters in India. Today, not only has India's Haj quota increased but visa rules have also been made easier. The government took a very important decision. Earlier, our Muslim mothers and sisters could not go alone for Haj. The government also allowed women to go for Haj without Mehram," the PM said.

PM Modi  also said the previous Congress government only did politics of appeasement and nothing for the "political and socio-economic upliftment of Muslims". To back his statement, he mentioned his government striking down "Triple Talaq".

His remarks come a day after a controversy erupted when he made the same comments during a Lok Sabha poll rally in Rajastha’s Banswara on April 21.
