Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Parliament said "My Govt. has Only one Religion India First"
Prime Minister Narendra Modi breaks his silence in
Parliament to communalism and call for unity. Breaking
his silence in Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday denounced
communalism and asserted that his government stood for unity wherein all
religions prosper within the framework of the Constitution.
“My
government’s only religion is ‘India first’, my government’s only religious
book is ‘Indian Constitution’, our only devotion is ‘Bharat Bhakti’ and our
only prayer is ‘welfare of all’,Nobody has the right to discriminate on the basis of religion...No one has the right to take law into his hands,” the Prime Minister said in Lok Sabha while replying to a
debate on the President’s Address.
He
declared that as the Prime Minister, it was his “responsibility” not to allow ridiculous comments in the name of religion.
His
statement assumes significance as the government has been under attack over
certain communal remarks made by some BJP and Sangh Parivar leaders.
Insisting
that “we want all religions to prosper”, the Prime Minister said it was
possible only in India under its Constitution which has been prepared with the
thinking flowing from thousands of years of the country’s history.
“This
nation full of diversity. We are for unity in diversity, not disunity. All
religions should flourish. It is the uniqueness of India because of its
Constitution,” he said.
“We
want to take the nation forward within the framework of the Constitution,” Mr.
Modi said, adding he saw only the “tricolor” and “no other colour.”
Recalling
his election rally in Patna in October 2013 which was rocked by serial bomb
blasts, Mr. Modi said he had then “asked who should Hindus fight with with
Muslims or poverty? I had asked Muslims, do you want to fight with Hindus or
poverty. We have fought enough. Now let us unite and fight against poverty.”
Referring
to his slogan of ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas’, he said he sought the cooperation
of the opposition also for the benefit of the country.
