Mahila Cong resents PM’s remarks
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Apr 23: J&K Congress has not only termed the statement given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Aligarh on Monday, targeting the Congress, pointing towards the ‘Mangalsutra’ of women, completely irresponsible but has also termed it as a cruel joke along with the dignity of the post of Prime Minister.
Party’s general secretary and woman leader Namrta Sharma flanked by senior leader Kanta Bhan, general secretary PCC Santosh Majotra, secretary Jyoti Vaid, while reacting strongly to this statement of PM Modi said that the kind of statements that are coming out from Modi’s mouth these days, it is clear that his party is going to lose its political ground in the ongoing Parliamentary elections.
Talking to media-persons at PCC office here today, she said that sometimes PM says that after the elections, the leaders of the INDI Alliance will be bent upon tearing each other’s clothes and sometimes he (Modi) says that even the `Mangalsutra’ of women will not be saved if Congress comes to power.
Sharma said that the possible defeat in these elections may spoil someone’s mental balance, but at least the Prime Minister should maintain the dignity of his post.
She said that Modi should tell that when he brought demonetization, how many women’s household savings, which they had actually saved with their hard-earned money, were destroyed.
PCC leader claimed that in just a few days the BJP’s manifesto was prepared in which issues like unemployment, inflation and corruption were not found anywhere even if Congress had promised to provide financial assistance to women under the Mahalaxmi Yojana.
Sharma strongly condemned PM’s statement and said that Congress has included every appropriate promise in its manifesto for women, youth, farmers and workers whereas BJP has nothing else except doing cheap politics in the name of religion.
Pointing towards women, Sharma said that during his rule, the pension of Rs 1000-1500 that was given to the disabled, widows and the elderly was also stopped. On the other hand, Congress is bringing Rs 1 lakh annually for women and youth.
Prominent among those present include Parvinder Kour, Rama Mehra, Darshna Devi, Neenu Sharma, Neetu Jamwal, Surbhi Bhagat, Monika Sharma and others.
