Bhubaneswar: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s “Modiji’s army” remark seems to have backfired on the party, as Union Minister of State for External Affairs, General (retd) V.K. Singh, said on Thursday that the Armed Forces do not belong to any political party and anyone who makes such comments is a traitor to the country.
“If someone says that the Indian Army is Modi’s army, then he is not only wrong but also a traitor of the country. India’s Army belongs to the country, it does not belong to a political party,” Singh told BBC.
At a rally in Ghaziabad on Sunday, Adityanath had said that while the Congress serves biryani to terrorists, “Modiji’s army” responds with bombs and bullets.
The Election Commission has since issued a notice to Adityanath on a complaint by the Congress. He has been asked to respond by April 5.
Quoting Gen Singh on BBC, a report in the Indian Express said, “Perhaps they do not even know what they have said. There are only one or two people who think in such a manner since they do not have anything…”
At a BJP rally in Ghaziabad, Adityanath had said: “Congress ke log atankwadiyon ko biryani khilate thhay, aur Modiji ki Sena atankwadiyon ko goli aur gola deti hai. Yahi antar hai. Congress ke log Azhar Masood jaise atankwadiyon ke saath ‘ji’ laga karke atankwad ko protsahit karti hai. Aur Modiji ke netritva mein, aaj aatankwad ko, unke thikano ko nasht aur dhwast karke aatankwad ki hi nahi, Pakistan ki kamar todne ka kaam Bharatiya Janata Party ki sarkar kar rahi hai. (Members of the Congress feeds biryani to terrorists while Modiji’s army gives bullets and bombs to them. This is the difference. Congress encourages terrorism by using ‘ji’ to address terrorists such as Azhar Masood. Under Modiji’s leadership, the BJP government is not only destroying the locations of terrorists but also breaking Pakistan’s back).”
