MUMBAI, Dec 26:
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Union Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Sunday described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “trouble-shooter leader” who fought from the front to get the world’s largest democracy out of the “biggest calamity of the century”.
Speaking after inaugurating various development projects at Dhule in Maharashtra, Naqvi said PM Modi ensured adequate facilities and resources for the health and well-being of people during the COVID-19 related challenges.
People’s self-restraint and precautions reflected their faith in the leadership of Modi, he said.
“By the grace of God, we have a trouble-shooter leader like Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has fought from the front to get the world’s largest democracy out of the biggest calamity of the century,” he said.
Naqvi claimed some political parties were trying to commit the sin of derailing the country’s progress, prosperity and unity through “post-paid political pretence”.
“We have to be remain cautious of such players, who are leaving no chance to harm India’s growing prestige across the world through their ‘caucus of conspiracies’,” he said.
Prime Minister Modi is taking the country forward on the highway of good governance by demolishing the “speed breaker of cut, commission, corruption, crime and communalism”, the senior BJP leader said.
The Modi era has dissipated the “politics of danga and dabangs” with the determination to development with dignity, he said.
Inclusive empowerment” is “rashtradharma” and empowerment without appeasement is “rashtraniti” of the Modi government, he said.
The Modi government has made every section of society an equal partner of the development process, and his governance is an era of ‘Iqbal’ (authority), ‘Insaaf’ (justice) and ‘Imaan’ (integrity), Naqvi said.
The Union minister said the Modi government has worked for the health and well-being of every caste, community, region and religion, he said.
Today, the COVID-19 vaccination figure has crossed 141 crore. Free ration is being provided to more than 80 crore needy people, the minister pointed out.
The Modi government gave priority to precaution, prevention and adequate facilities, instead of panic, he said.
During the first COVID-19 wave in India in 2020, there was a lack of resources to tackle the pandemic. But, India has now become self-reliant in COVID-19 vaccines, ventilators, medicines, PPE (personal protective equipment) kits, N-95 masks, testing labs for the coronavirus, ICU beds, COVID-19-dedicated hospitals and medical oxygen, Naqvi said.
