Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused unnamed individuals of attempting to defame India and disrupt its unity during a speech in Ahmedabad, reflecting on recent controversial comments made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the U.S. Modi inaugurated projects worth Rs 8,000 crore, including the first Vande Bharat metro service, while criticizing the 'politics of appeasement' and asserting that certain opposition figures are trying to revive Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. He expressed that he has faced mockery during the first 100 days of his third term but remains focused on development. Modi's remarks come amid heightened tensions surrounding Gandhi's comments on religious minorities and the call for restoring special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Additionally, Modi has faced backlash for recent allegations regarding 'infiltrators' in Jharkhand, which have been denied by human rights organizations. This situation highlights the ongoing political strife and the use of emotive language in the run-up to elections.
