Arrewaahhhh retweetledi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 24-minute 14-second speech in the Lok Sabha on the West Asia crisis is actually much ado about nothing.
▪️ The seriousness of the situation is clear from the way Modi ji read every single word from a prepared text today. No chest thumping. No blaming Pandit Nehru, instead, he appealed for unity with the opposition. The Prime Minister mentioned the Corona crisis today several times - a grim reminder that the challenge and crisis have not yet been overcome.
▪️ But the nation which wanted to know what is India’s stand on the horrific war and devastation in West Asia - was offered empty statistics, some bluster about solar energy, and hollow claims.
▪️ In fact, Mr Modi did not name America and Israel even once.
▪️ But unlike his ill-informed bhakts, PM Modi acknowledged that the war poses a big threat, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is disrupting our gas supplies. A shortage, his spokespersons and ministers even refuse to acknowledge.
▪️ However, the Prime Minister did not clearly tell the House how oil and gas supplies will be ensured. He did not explain what talks are ongoing with Iran, Israel, and America regarding supplies?
▪️ Setting up 6 urea plants, as claimed by him won't ensure supply if urea, so where will the urea come from? Even when there was no disruption in supply, fertiliser shortage from Madhya Pradesh to Uttar Pradesh was visible to one and all.
▪️ After sacrificing the interests of our farmers in the US trade deal, it was weird to see Mr Modi talk about their trust.
▪️ It was indeed ironical, to witness PM Modi speak on energy security after handing it over to America on a platter. Will he care to explain that the very same Russian oil which we bought at huge discounts is now being purchased at a premium after getting America's “approval”?
▪️ He did not mention that LPG, petrol, industrial diesel, mustard oil, refined oil everything has become more expensive. Thousands of factories running on gas have shut down, and once again, workers are being forced to return to their villages.
▪️ The Prime Minister said that the country's refining capacity has increased. But he did not explain why crude oil production in the country has declined by 28% in the last 12 years?
👉 In his speech, the Prime Minister of India did not utter a single word on the targeted killing of a supreme leader of a sovereign country by America and Israel.
👉 Modi ji opposed the closure of the Strait of Hormuz but did not say a word of remorse about the killing of 165 innocent schoolgirls in Iran during the US-Israel attacks.
👉 And he also did not explain how our foreign policy has failed so badly that even now so many of our ships are stuck in Hormuz.
👉👉 After hearing references to Corona and call for unity twice in 24 minutes, one thing is clear - the challenge is serious, no matter what the BJP IT cell tells you and the Prime Minister has thrown in the towel already. By recalling the Corona era, it is clear that you have been left to fend for yourselves. All that’s left to be done is to get people to clap and bang plates, yet again.
