After Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded his speech, the Lok Sabha was adjourned Sine Die.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned the Hathras Stampede incident in Parliament during his speech. He said that the authorities are inspecting the incident. PM Modi also expressed condolences.
In continuation of his attacks on the Congress party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in Lok Sabha that the grand old party has not rewarded big leaders of the country including Dr BR Ambedkar, and Jagjivan Ram. Quoting lines from a book (he did not mention the name) Prime Minister Modi said that then-PM Indira Gandhi once said: "Jagjivan Ram should not be made the Prime Minister of the country at any cost".
Slamming Rahul Gandhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said: "The courage of these people for spreading lies has risen to an extent that yesterday he (Rahul Gandhi) lied about Agniveer scheme in Parliament. He has insulted the brave soldiers of this country. I urge you, Lok Sabha Speaker, that please take this matter very seriously. In order to safeguard the sanctity of this House, we must take action. We cannot ignore such actions and steps by considering this type of thought process as 'immature'".
In a sharp critique, Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi. He said that these days a "new" way of gaining sympathy has emerged, taking an example, PM Modi said, "Kal yahan balak buddhi ka vilaap chal raha tha. He (Rahul Gandhi) stated that he was being targetted, but he did not say that he has been booked under major allegations. Balak Buddhi apni seemayein nahi dekhte, lekin sadan mein baith ke aankhe maarte hain. The entire country has been saying, 'Tumse na ho paayega'."
Launching a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said: "Wherever the Congress party has fought in alliance with another party it has destroyed that party. The Congress party, which has ruled over the Country for 6 decades, have been practising the politics of appeasement. They have tried to divide the country on the basis of language. Congress has committed sin. They have openly framed narratives to make two communities fight with each other".
Prime Minister Narendra Modi invoked 'Sholay' jibe at Congress and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi. Take a look at the video here:

"Accha hota agar Congress janta ke faisle ko maanti. Ye Congress ke itihas mein sabse kharab pradarshan hai. Teesri baar Congress 100 ka ankanda bhi paar nahi par paayi," PM Modi said.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla reprimanded the Opposition for storming into the well. He said: "Leader of Opposition and the Opposition parties, you all were given enough time to speak. This way of causing disruption is incorrect. I request you to be seated at your places".
PM Modi said, "There was a time in Jammu and Kashmir when stones were pelted on our army men. Those who danced with the Constitution over their heads were quiet. Now, the people of Jammu and Kashmir vote in large numbers. The trust in our government by the people of this country has been the driving force for our government, the government of development"
PM Modi said, "The country has blessed us for our zero-tolerance policy towards corruption. Today India's credibility has increased across the world...The sole aim of our every policy, every decision, every action has been India first".

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to address the National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) parliamentary party meeting on Tuesday, in what will be his first speech to the MPs of the ruling bloc during the first session of Parliament since he assumed office for a third term.
Though Modi in the past has addressed the NDA MPs on a few occasions, especially when he was elected as their leader ahead of all his three terms, he generally speaks at the meetings of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MPs during sessions.
All members of Parliament of the BJP and its allies have been notified about Tuesday's meeting and asked to attend it, news agency PTI reported, citing sources.
Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi took a swipe at the ruling BJP in the Lok Sabha on Monday, saying those who call themselves Hindus are engaged in "violence and hate" round the clock, drawing massive protests from the members of the treasury benches, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserting that calling the entire Hindu society violent is a serious matter.
Gandhi, however, retorted that he was speaking about the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) or Modi are not the entire Hindu society, he added.
The Congress leader held up a picture of Lord Shiva and said his message is about fearlessness and non-violence. He also cited the teachings of other religions to make a similar point.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday took a potshot at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement that the last 10 years of his rule was just a trailer and 'picture abhi baaki hai', saying the third term of NDA has seen exam paper leaks, terror attack in J&K, train accident, airport canopy collapse, bridges cave-ins and toll tax hike.

The Congress on Monday accused the BJP of distorting Rahul Gandhi's speech in the Lok Sabha to allege that he insulted Hindus, saying the ruling party will not be able to sell falsehoods and will have to answer on issues such as medical entrance exam NEET and Agniveer.
