Nirmala Sitharaman - The first woman defence minister of India? Modi says so

Daijiworld Media Network - New Delhi

New Delhi, Mar 2 : The Congress on Friday lashed out at PM Narendra Modi for mentioning Nirmala Sitharaman as the country’s first woman defence minister.

The party’s twitter handle advised the PM to brush up his history by stating that Indira Gandhi was the first defence minister of India.

Ridiculing the Prime Minister, the grand old party asked the Prime Minister to ponder if he ‘Missed this chapter during his entire Political Science degree’.

The tweet said “FYI, Smt Indira Gandhi was the first woman Defence Minister of India – you should brush up your history – in case you missed this chapter during your entire Political Science degree.”

Vice-chancellor of Gujarat University MN Patel had earlier asserted that the Prime Minister had scored 62.3 percent marks in his political science post-graduation.

The opposition party’s response came hours after the Prime Minister called Nirmala Sitharaman the first woman defence minister while hailing Wing Commander AbhinandanVartaman, who was then in Pakistan’s captivity and is also a resident of the southern state.
The PM said every Indian was proud of Abhinandan and he lashed out at the opposition party’s playing into the hands of Pakistan by suspecting our armed forces.
In Kanyakumari, after inaugurating several government projects, Modi said "I am proud that India's first woman defence minister Nirmala ji is from Tamil Nadu. Every Indian is proud that the brave wing commander Abhinandan belongs to Tamil Nadu.”

Modi said, the events of the past two days, an apparent reference to IAF’s air strikes and the IAF shooting down a Pakistan jet, have demonstrated yet again the strengths of the country's armed forces.

Pointing out the outpouring support by the people to Abhinandan and India’s armed forces, the Prime Minister said "It has also brought our nation closer."

However, he said, it was sad that a few political parties "suspected our fight against terror."

When the entire nation supported the country's armed forces, they "suspected the armed forces," he said.

Modi also lashed at the previous Congress-led UPA government for allegedly "blocking," surgical strikes post 26/11 Mumbai attacks in 2008.

    Modi has failed to capture Hafiz Saeed, Mazoor Ahmed or any of the terrorists that Pakistan is shielding. Even if China consents to place Mazoor Ahmed on UN sanctioned terrorist list, things aren't going to change. You need to get commandos inside Pakistan, kill the terrorist, take a photo of the downed target and vanish from the scene, just like US Seals or Israeli Mossad. Modi's one time PMship has been a dud.

    PM Modi has committed mistakes which even children wouldn't commit while writing a grade 1 exam of general knowledge.
    Indira Gandhi has held the first woman defense minister portfolio before, in addition to her responsibilities as Prime Minister of India.
    This is not the first time that Modi has had to face public embarrassment owing to incorrect knowledge. There's a long history to it which earned Modi a bad reputation as early as the 2014 general election campaign trail.
    He referred "Father of the Nation" Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi as Mohanlal Gandhi. Indians are introduced to the life and times of Mahatma Gandhi in school. In fact, many children know of him even before they go to school.
    We've all grown up listening to the incumbent prime minister's speech from Red Fort or Lal Quila in Delhi on Independence Day. But Modi took the traditional I-Day speech from Lal Quila to Lal Darwaza which is a monument constructed by Sher Shah Suri near Delhi Gate.
    During his first foreign visit to Bhutan in June 2014, Modi incorrectly referred to Bhutan as Nepal.
    During a trip to Russia in December last year, Modi started moving during the guard of honor as the national anthem "Jana Gana Mana" started to play.
    In Patna, he said Takshashila was in Bihar; it is in Pakistan. He also said Porus was defeated on the banks of the Ganga; that battle with Alexander never went beyond the Jhelum river in Pakistani Punjab.
    In 1947, one Rupee is equivalent to one Dollar, in fact, Rupee was tied to the pound.
    He advises on ' Pariksha Pe Charcha', but address former Sri Lankan President wife M-R-S instead of Mrs. reading from teleprompters.
    Now entire nation can understand why Prime Minister Modi is not disclosing RTI queries on his degrees.
    Modiji, Stop embarrassing the nation. Take a break from political rallies and read the history of India first before you start teaching the students who have more knowledge than Prime Minister.

    This just one of the many faux pas of our great PM. Mohanlal Gandhi, STREANH, Marching while national anthem being played, Waving at fish in Dal Lake are just to name a few. Bhakths, take a note of this before dishing out that lie again on RG about potato -gold nonsense, if you google it, you'll know the truth.

    Hasn't this BJP's PM not learnt a lesson yet ? That he should refrain from opening his dirty mouth to boast about his fake achievements ?

    What did he study in his MA in Political Science then ? To make Pakodas if you don't get a job ?

    FYI, Indira Gsndhi is the first Prime minister of India. All ministers and leaders of BJP are incompetent and good for nothing including Nirmala Sitharaman and Modi. Since 2014 India is running in vacuum without any leadership on its own strength and previous govt's policies.
