'Cheap Tactic': Stalin Accuses Modi Of Fomenting State Conflicts After PM's 'Insulted UP' Allegation
During an election rally in Uttar Pradesh recently, PM Modi claimed that Samajwadi Party and Congress remained quiet when their alliance partner DMK 'insulted' Uttar Pradesh and Sanatan Dharma.
Days after PM Modi alleged that Samajwadi Party and Congress' ally DMK insulted Uttar Pradesh and Santana Dharma, DMK President and Chief Minister M K Stalin on Saturday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of resorting to a "cheap strategy" of creating conflicts between states and claiming that Modi's "propaganda of communal hatred" had failed.
Further, Stalin criticised Modi for spreading "imaginary tales and bags of lies" by alleging that leaders of southern states, including Tamil Nadu (members of the I.N.D.I.A. bloc), were speaking derogatorily about the people of Uttar Pradesh, as reported by PTI.
During an election rally in Uttar Pradesh recently, PM Modi claimed that Samajwadi Party and Congress remained quiet when their alliance partner DMK 'insulted' Uttar Pradesh and Sanatan Dharma.
Hitting out at the supporters of BJP, DMK president alleged that they encouraged the spread of fake news, such as the false claims made by "YouTubers like Manish Kashyap" about assaults on guest workers in Tamil Nadu. These fake claims were seen as 'hate propaganda' aimed at creating divisions in society.
Last year, Tamil Nadu police arrested Kashyap for allegedly circulating fake videos about "attacks" on migrant workers from Bihar in Tamil Nadu. After serving his jail term for this case, Kashyap joined the BJP last month.
"The BJP's divisive dreams will never come true ! false narrative and hatred will be shattered, India will win," Stalin said in a statement, as per the report.
