PM Narendra Modi who was in Uttarakhand to celebrate Diwali with jawans said that being an RSS member, he had an opportunity spend time with army men.

In what has become a tradition of sorts, Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked Diwali by spending it with jawans in Uttarakhand. With each passing event, Modi’s jumlas are getting saucier and juicer. And of course, it goes without saying that they can never be proved, just like like bachelor’s degree from Delhi University.

While celebrating Diwali with jawans at Harsil, Uttarakhand, Modi said that being an RSS member, he had an opportunity to spend time with army men. He also stated that earlier governments played politics over One Rank One Pension (OROP) for army personnel and it was his government who fulfilled their dreams.

“As an RSS member, I got an opportunity to live among Army men. At that time I heard a lot about One Rank One Pension. Many govts came & left. Since, I was connected to you I understood your emotions. So, after becoming PM it was my responsibility to fulfill your dreams of OROP,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The claims of the Prime Minister have drawn strong criticism from Twitterati calling it another lie from him. The twitter users asked the PM to provide details regarding his days spent with the army. They also corrected Narendra Modi’s claims about the OROP stating that it has not yet been approved and retired army officials are still protesting at Jantar Mantar.

Here are some of the tweets:

Kannur(Kerala) (PTI): Govindachamy, a notorious convict serving life term in the sensational 2011 Soumya murder case, was on Saturday shifted to the Viyyur central jail in Thrissur district of Kerala, a day after he broke out of Kannur prison and was caught several hours later.

The order to shift Govindachamy alias Govindaswamy (41), who is missing his left hand, to Viyyur came late Friday night, but it was decided to move him in the morning, police said.

He was taken to Thrissur early Saturday morning amidst heavy security, it said.

Govindachamy broke out of Kannur Central Jail on Friday between 4.15 am and 6.30 am and was caught from within the city limits by around 9.30 am.

A case was registered in connection with his jailbreak and he was produced before a judicial magistrate and remanded to judicial custody for 14 days.

Following the jailbreak, three prison officers of Kannur Central Jail were suspended with immediate effect, amidst allegations from various quarters that the convict had inside help in his escape.

The opposition Congress had slammed the government over the incident. It termed the government "incompetent" and alleged that "inside help" was provided for the jailbreak. It also demanded a CBI probe into the incident.

Soumya, a 23-year-old woman from Manjakkad near Shornur, was raped and murdered allegedly by Govindachamy while travelling on a passenger train from Ernakulam to Shornur on 1 February 2011. Govindachamy was convicted in this case.
