PM Modi also expressed disappointment

The country and women power will not forgive President Draupadi Murmu for this insult. Today when the country is celebrating International Women’s Day, it is a matter of great concern that just yesterday the TMC government in West Bengal has seriously insulted the Honorable President of India Draupadi Murmu.

What is the whole matter?

Actually, President Draupadi Murmu had come to West Bengal to attend the 9th International Santhali Conclave. Expressed displeasure over changing the venue of the program here and for any minister of Bengal government attending the program. Within no time the whole matter took a political colour.

AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi held a press conference in Telangana capital Hyderabad on preventive missile attack by Israel against Iran. He has said that if the Prime Minister’s aircraft was in the air and such an attack took place, then who would be responsible?

The Prime Minister should tell the country whether Netanyahu had told him that Israel was going to attack Iran? If he had done this then the Prime Minister should have immediately ended his tour and returned to the country. If Israel did not tell us that it is attacking Iran along with America, then Israel has deceived us.

What is India gaining from this attack?: Owaisi

He has used the Prime Minister’s visit to attack Iran and hide the genocide committed against Palestinians in Gaza. This will send the message that India is with Israel, not with Iran. What is India gaining from this attack?

What happened to the legacy of 80 years of neutrality?: Owaisi

10 million Indian citizens live in Gulf countries. What message will this send to the common citizens of those countries that Israel attacked Iran as soon as Prime Minister Modi’s visit ended? Bahrain and Qatar have been attacked, and Saudi Arabia may also be attacked. We have always been neutral. Prime Minister of the country, BJP should understand what happened to our legacy of 80 years of neutrality in this matter? A very wrong message has been sent.

Israel betrayed the world about India: Owaisi

These are questions which the Prime Minister and the BJP should answer. Israel used Prime Minister Modi’s visit to attack and tell the world that India is with them. This is cheating. We ask the Prime Minister and the BJP whether Netanyahu told them this? The 50,000 Indian citizens in Iran and 10,000 in Israel should be brought back.
