New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has responded to President Ram Nath Kovind's address in the Rajya Sabha. After taking a dig at the Congress in the Lok Sabha yesterday, he has once again attacked the Congress in the Rajya Sabha. This time his attack has been more acrimonious. He has told the whole country in a taunted manner that what would have been the condition of the country if there was no Congress.

During his speech, PM Modi targeted the Congress and said that if there was no Congress, then the atmosphere of the country, the form of the country would have been different. He said that if there was no Congress, there would not have been a massacre of Sikhs, if there was no Congress, there would not have been casteism, if there was no Congress, then democracy would have been free from familyism, if there was no Congress, there would not have been regionalism in the country, if there was no Congress, there would have been no exodus of Kashmiri Pandits. Had there been no Congress, India would have followed the path of indigenous resolutions instead of foreign spectacles.

He further said that if Congress was not there, Punjab would not have burnt in the fire of terror for years, if Congress was not there, corruption would not have been institutionalized for decades, if Congress was not there, there would not have been incidents of burning daughters in tandoor. Now PM Modi did such a big attack, but in the beginning he definitely said that even Mahatma Gandhi did not want Congress. He was also worried about all these things. Counting the work done by the Congress in the past, PM Modi said that many governments were dismissed because of them.
