Amit Shah blames Congress for Namaz on national highways
Haridwar : In past few weeks, there have been instances where strong objections were raised over Muslims stopping traffic to offer Namaz on the national highways. In the context, Union Minister Amit Shah blamed previous government Congress for this and claimed that he was shocked to see "people had permission to block a national highway for namaz."
Addressing people during a rally in poll-bound Uttarakhand, Amit Shah said, “When I came to Uttarakhand earlier, during the Congress tenure, my convoy was stuck in a traffic jam and some people told me that there is permission to block a national highway for namaz on Friday.” He also alleged that the Congress government didn’t carry out restoration works at Kedarnath “for fear of losing its vote bank”.
He said: “Congress is synonymous with corruption, scam and appeasement. It can neither work for the poor nor give good administration. The party has always failed to fulfill promises made to people...BJP had fulfilled 85% of the promises in its manifesto since 2017...In this period, works worth Rs 85,000 crore have been started in Uttarakhand”.
He also mentioned how PM Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Kedarnath on October 5. “He will inaugurate the statue of Adi Shankaracharya during his visit to the shrine,” he added
Amit Shah held a core committee BJP meeting at the party headquarters and then left for Haridwar in the evening. There he attended the golden jubilee celebrations of Shanti Kunj Ashram and held a closed-door meeting with Juna akhara’s acharya mahamandaleshwar Swami Avdheshanand Giri.
