‘Modi should stop lying to the country’

Rahul Gandhi challenged the Prime Minister to an open debate on any platform and at any time. He said he was ready to debate the issue and claimed that Modi would avoid the discussion because of what he knew about Rahul.
Modi had described the Opposition as ‘Avarodh Paksh’
Rahul Gandhi's attack came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address on the occasion of Unity Day. In his speech, the Prime Minister accused the Opposition of obstructing the country's development. He described it as ‘Avarodh Paksh’ (obstructionist bloc) instead of ‘Virodh Paksh’ (Opposition).
The Prime Minister had said that while the country was dealing with external challenges, certain forces were attempting to create instability by spreading lies and rumours. He alleged that some people were using social media to damage India's image and create divisions in society.
Modi said there was a need to remain alert against forces obstructing the country's development. He also appealed to people to remain united and preserve the country's strength and unity.
