New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (February 8, 2023) took a dig at the Opposition parties and said that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has “brought them together”. While replying to the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address in Lok Sabha, Modi said that the Opposition leaders should have come together on the electoral platform, but it was the ED that brought them together. He said that if the Indian Army shows bravery, then the Opposition criticises it.
“If probe agencies act against graft, the Opposition attacks them,” PM Modi said in his reply.
As per a report last year, out of the total 121 cases against politicians under ED probe currently, around 115 are against the Opposition leaders.
He also tore into Congress and said that the UPA rule from 2004-2014 was a “decade of scams and violence”.
“UPA’s trademark was to let every opportunity turn into a crisis from 2004-2014,” Modi said in Lok Sabha.
