Cong keeps compromising nation's security,singing to Pak's tunes: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that while his government has carried out Operation Sindoor on terror camps in Pakistan, the Congress keeps on "singing to the tune of" the neighbouring country. On the development front, he alleged that the Congress had always taken a myopic view on the matter, while the BJP works towards ensuring long-term development of the nation. "The party always took short-term measures so that they could indulge in corruption. But the BJP looks far ahead while taking decisions for all-around development of all sections of society," Modi said.Addressing an election rally in Barpeta district, the prime minister alleged that during the 2016 surgical strikes or the 2025 'Operation Sindoor', the Congress has always sung to Pakistan's tune, giving importance to their agenda.

Modi also accused the Congress of neglecting the Army by refusing to implement the 'One Rank, One Pension' for the veterans for decades. But the BJP government ensured that justice was done to those who protect the nation by giving them this benefit, he said. "We have so far disbursed Rs 1.24 lakh crore to the bank accounts of former army personnel," the prime minister told the rally. He said peace was established in Assam after a lot of sacrifices and due to the BJP's honest effort in implementing the peace accords signed during the past 10 years.
