Lucknow, February 23
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday gave a befitting reply to Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav over “parivaar wala” comment and said the entire Uttar Pradesh was his family.
Addressing an election rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Barabanki, which will go to the polls on February 27, PM Modi said that the entire Uttar Pradesh is his family and charged that the “dynasts” care only about their family. The Prime Minister took a swipe at rivals for claiming that they can understand people’s pain more than those who have no family.
“We are not ‘parivaar wala’ but we identify the pain of all families because entire India is our family, entire Uttar Pradesh is my family. All of you are members of my family,” Modi said. “I would like to ask dynasts who say that they have a family and know the pain of families, why did they not care about Muslim daughters? They had to return to their father’s home with their young children. Why did they not feel the pain of families?” he added.
The Prime Minister said that previous governments ignored the problems being faced by women and daughters.
“If they had even a little empathy, would they have given freedom to goons who used to molest our school-going daughters? Today goons know that if they cross boundaries, strict action will be taken,” he said.
