PM Modi Criticizes Opposition as Obstructive During National Unity Day Address

Analysed 31 Oct 2026·5 sources analysed·Gujarat, India·Politics
PM Modi Criticizes Opposition as Obstructive During National Unity Day AddressPreviousNext

On National Unity Day in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Opposition, labeling it 'Avrodh Paksh' (obstructive force) rather than 'Virodh Paksh' (opposing group), and accused it of attempting to divide the nation. He referenced concerns about foreign meetings involving Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and warned against misinformation spread via social media. Modi highlighted achievements against Naxalism while emphasizing future goals like border security, preventing infiltration, demographic stability, and pursuing a secular civil code, invoking Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's legacy.
