Rajnath hits out at Congress over mainifesto

Jamui/Nawada (Bihar): Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday lambasted the Congress for promising abolition of sedition law in its election manifesto. He also compared the demand made by the opposition that the government come out with exact number of terrorists killed in the Balakot airstrikes, to vultures preying upon dead bodies.

“Yudhveer (valiant soldiers) are not interested in counting bodies. It is the work of gidhveer (vultures),” Mr Singh said addressing a rally at Nawada.

“They (the Congress) say that they would do away with rashtra droh (sedition) law and then have the temerity to come to the people seeking votes. Can the people of the country vote for those who harbor such thoughts. Narendra Mo-di government is committed to crushing all sorts of anti-national ac-tivities. Far from abolition or dilution of the law we would strive tow-ards making it more stri-ngent,” he said.
