Modi completely failed on national security front: Azad
New Delhi, May 26: Speaking on the work of Narendra Modi government that completed four years on Satutrday, senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said the Prime Minister failed to keep his promise on national security and let down security forces.
"Kashmir is a state which was exploited by Modi most during the elections. In the recent past, ever since things had normalised in Jammu and Kashmir post 1996, highest number of security forces and civilians were killed in the four years of Modi government," Azad said at a press conference.
He was accompanied by several senior Congress leaders.
Attacking Modi on national security, Azad said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had used the issue of national security during the election campaign and exploited the nation in the name of national security.
"National security is an area on which Prime Minister spoke during the election campaign. He highlighted the importance of national security and exploited it to the hilt. And, he got the maximum votes in the name of national security.
"But where is national security today? The national security does not mean only the territorial integrity of the country. The national security means where people are safe and secure, it means where there is freedom of expression and freedom of press. But under Modi's government nobody is safe. Everybody is having sleepless nights," Azad said.
The Congress leader went on to remind the incidents of terrorist attacks on important locations like Pathankot, Uri and Nagrota, where dozens of security forces and civilians were killed.
Congress General Secretary Ashok Gehlot said: "No other Prime Minister has ever lowered down the dignity of the post of PM like Modi."
Party spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala summed up Modi government's rule by saying, "treachery, trickery, revenge and lies are the four words that define Modi government's four years."
"Modi government spent Rs 4,600 crore on advertisements in the last four years," he added.

Chikkamagaluru: Seven-year-old girl allegedly raped by father
POCSO case filed against absconding accused
Chikkamagaluru: In an incident reported from Coolie Line in Hosahalli in the district, a man allegedly raped his seven-year-old daughter and also injured her private parts on Friday, before absconding.
Mallandur Police have filed a case against the accused, who is identified as Murthy, a resident of Coolie Line, based on a complaint by a counselor at the District Child Protection Unit.
The complainant has said that the girl, who is a student of Class 2, was taking bath at home on Friday, when her father raped her. He further thrust a broken water bottle into her private parts, resulting an injury there.
The police has been told that girl brought the matter to the notice of her mother, who had gone out of the house during the incident. The mother noticed her daughter to be bleeding from her private parts and took her to hospital for a check-up. The doctors confirmed that primary inspection showed that the girl had been subjected to sexual assault.
The complainant added that the girl, who was also taken to the Sakhi One Stop Centre, confided before the counselor that her father had warned her not to speak about the incident. He had, instead, told his daughter to clarify that she was bleeding since her father had stamped her private parts for bathing without her clothes on. The victim is learned to have been raped by her father earlier too.
Mallandur Police have registered a case against Murthy under POCSO Act and are investigating to find the accused, who is absconding.
