Haryana: Addressing a public gathering in Hisar, Haryana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi vehemently criticized the opposition, particularly the Congress, regarding Wakf laws.

UCC Described as 'Secular Civil Code'
PM Modi stated, "The spirit of the Constitution is clear—there should be a uniform civil code for all citizens. I call it a 'Secular Civil Code.'" He accused the Congress of attempting to undermine the Constitution when their power seemed threatened, citing the Emergency as an example.
Accusation of Vote-Bank Politics Against Congress
PM Modi alleged that the Congress had spread the virus of vote-bank politics. He highlighted that while Babasaheb Ambedkar envisioned equality for all, the Congress served only its own interests. He further stated that the situation has changed, with SC/ST/OBC communities significantly benefiting from schemes like Jan Dhan and other government initiatives.
Issue of Misuse of Wakf Properties Raised
PM Modi alleged that the Wakf Board possesses millions of hectares of land, but its resources are not being utilized effectively for the poor and needy. He emphasized the need for better utilization of such properties to benefit the most marginalized members of society.
Flags Off Flight from Hisar Airport
During his Hisar visit, Prime Minister Modi flagged off a direct flight from Hisar Airport to Ayodhya. He also laid the foundation stone for a new terminal and other development projects at the airport.
