|April 15, 2025
PM Narendra Modi on Monday strongly defended the new Waqf legislation and launched a frontal attack on the Congress, saying its opposition to the law was only on account of the party's minority appeasement policy.
Addressing a rally in Hisar, Haryana on the birth anniversary of Dr BR Ambedkar, he dared the Congress to select a Muslim as its president or allocate 50% of tickets to Muslim candidates if it truly cared for the community. In a comprehensive attack on the principal Opposition party, the Prime Minister also raised the issue of price rise and deforestation in Karnataka and Telangana, respectively, where it is in power.
Before the rally, Modi laid the foundation stone of the new terminal building of the Maharaja Agrasen Airport worth over ₹410 crore and flagged off a commercial flight to Ayodhya. He reiterated his promise that even those wearing slippers would fly in aeroplanes, saying that the vision is now being realised countrywide.
