New Delhi, Jun 4 (TOI): BJP Spokesperson Sambit Patra on Sunday tweeted a video of Hafiz Saeed, saying that like the Pakistan-based terrorist, the 'Mahagathbandhan' too is trying to stop Narendra Modi from becoming PM in 2019.
"It’s not just the not yet formed “Mahagathbandhan” that desperately wants to stop India from having Modi as its PM in 2019…there are others as well…desperately trying for d same! Hafiz Saeed openly saying that he will shed blood of Narendra Modi," he said in his tweet as he posted a video of Saeed.
In the video, Saeed is seen launching a vicious attack on the PM.
“We will not keep quiet. We will rip out your tongue,” Saeed said in the video.
Saeed further cites the construction of hydroelectric projects in Jammu and Kashmir and alleged that India is trying to stop the supply of water to Pakistan.
"You say- you will stop water to Pakistan? You will defeat the objectives of CPEC? You would utter nonsense and want us to keep quiet?" Saeed said.
"If you stop the water, we will stop your breath," he lashed out at the Prime Minister.
Citing Saeed's video, Patra said that the anti-BJP alliance, which formally came into existence after JD(S) was able to form a government in Karnataka with a support from the Congress party, is "similarly" trying to prevent Narendra Modi from becoming the PM in 2019.
The BJP spokesperson later tweeted and said that he is not trying to compare the two, the anti-BJP alliance and Hafiz Saeed.
"Of course this is not a comparison! Modi Ji’s attack on Black Money and corruption is getting the opposition in India on one page while His attack on terrorism & Surgical Strike is pushing Hafeez Sayed to desperation! This proves that the Modi government is moving the right way! (sic)" he added.
