Shatrughan Sinha questions Modi over 'unbelievable' tales against opponents


New Delhi, Dec 11 (IANS): Actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha on Monday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi for spinning "unsubstantiated and unbelievable" stories against political opponents.

Sinha's comments came a day after Modi said Congress leaders met the Pakistani High Commissioner here.

"Sir! Just to win elections anyhow, and that too at the fag end of the process, is it a must to come up with and endorse new, unsubstantiated and unbelievable stories everyday against political opponents?

"Now linking them to Pakistan High Commissioner and Generals?! Incredible!" Sinha said in a tweet.

Modi on Sunday had accused a group of Congress leaders of meeting the Pakistan High Commissioner at Mani Shankar Aiyar's residence before the latter called him (Modi) "neech".

Addressing an election rally at Sanand, Modi said the meeting at Aiyar's residence was also attended by former Indian Vice President Hamid Ansari and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Continuing his attack on the Congress, Modi said: "There was a meeting convened at Aiyar's residence where Pakistan's High Commissioner, Pakistan's Foreign Minister, Ansari and Manmohan Singh were present. The meeting lasted three hours."

"The next day Mani Shankar said I am a 'neech'," said the Prime Minister. Aiyar was promptly suspended from the Congress' primary membership. He also apologised for his comment.

Sinha also advised the Prime Minister to stop communalising the atmosphere and return to the promises that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made in the 2014 general elections.

"Sir! Instead of new twists and turns, stories and cover ups, let's go straight to the promises that we made, regarding housing, development, employment of youth, health, "Vikas model".

"Lets stop communalising the atmosphere and go back to healthy politics and healthy elections. Jai Hind!," the BJP MP from Patna Sahib said in another tweet.

Sinha, a former union minister has been vocal against the policies of the Modi government, especially demonetisation and the Goods and Services Tax.

    As a last straw effort to save the BJP from election defeat and his own face the PM is ready to go to stoop to any level to garner votes. Dear PM please understand the public is well aware of your antics and you are bound to loose the Gujarat election.

    Khangress confirmed that the meeting happened. Before meeting the commissioner political party must take the permission from the government of the day. Now congress must explain to the people of India why they met Pak commissioner and what was the purpose and what they discussed.

    Even hardcore bhakts agree that this time around Modi has stooped so low to garner votes. Is he the PM of India? Is this how the PM of the country behaves? His actions, his speeches everything shows his true color and Class.
    Its indeed true...India never had such PM in entire history and shouldn't have in future as well !!

    I wish if at all there was one guy like ' Shotgun' in Congress party. To counter Modi, now it has become clear that someone in opposition party must have a tongue twisters like Modi's way of twists & turns qualifications. He is striking such popular balance among the masses jut because of his twisting tongue.

    To this MP in BJP, Congress and Pakistan has more credibility than our own PM. For refreshing his memory, did he watch Manishankar Aiyar making statement in Pakistan for removal of NaMo and BJP. If it can be done once then why can''t it be done again?

    "The meeting lasted three hours." "The next day Mani Shankar said I am a 'neech',"

    Probably, in the meeting a resolution may have been passed to call a spade a spade.

    Sensible people within the BJP and also among the allies are deeply worried about the situation within. It is just a matter of time, when this trickle of disenchantment, disappointment, disillusionment comes out like an avalanche. The lies and the false promises are hitting at the very conscience of these leaders. The party has been hijacked by two individuals and a few of their hard core fanatical bhakts and they are destroying the very fabric of our nation.

    Mr. Sinha, Congratulations! You are the true Politician. Politics has limits and Modiji has crossed all lines as a PM accusing the opponents unsubstantiated and unbelievable stories as mentioned by you. Keep up the spirit and be a true Politician committed to development with any party.
