Countering Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s emergency remark strongly , Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge singled out the centre, questioning how long they want to rule by talking about the Emergency. “He will say this 100 times. Without declaring an Emergency, you are doing this. How long do you want to rule by talking about this?” said Kharge.

“…Modi Ji tried to break the Constitution, that’s why today leaders of all parties have come together and are protesting. There was a Gandhi statue here. They are breaking all democratic norms, That’s why today we want to show that Modi Ji, you should move ahead according to the Constitution…” he added.

He also took to social media platform X to target the PM for not mentioning issues like the alleged irregularities on the NEET exam, Manipur violence and West Bengal train accident while addressing media persons outside the new Parliament building before taking oath as as a Lok Sabha MP.

The Congress national president Kharge said PM had used “customary words” more than necessary, while country was expecting his words on relevant issues.

Kharge said the “arrogance” remains despite a defeat. Listing the issues in detail in a post on X Kharge wrote, “He will show some sympathy towards youth regarding paper leak in NEET and other entrance exams, but he will not take any responsibility for the rigging and corruption of his government.

“Modi ji also remained silent about the recent train accident in West Bengal. Manipur has been in the grip of violence for the last 13 months, but Modiji neither went there nor did he express any concern about the recent violence in his speech today,” said Kharge.

Slamming PM Modi over the ‘Emergency’ remark, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh took to social media platform X and wrote, “The non-biological PM is telling the opposition: substance, not slogans. INDIA is telling him: consensus, not confrontation. The non-biological PM is telling the opposition: discussion, not disruption. INDIA is telling him: Attendance, not absence.”
