Lok Sabha Election 2024: Congress is targeting BJP regarding its manifesto. Meanwhile, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has made serious allegations against Congress. He claimed that Congress had planned a religious census in the armed forces.
Rajnath Singh said in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday (April 24) that the previous Congress government at the Center had tried to create a division in the country’s armed forces by recommending a religious census, news agency ANI reported.
Rajnath Singh accused Congress
The Defense Minister alleged that, “The Congress government had constituted the Sachar Committee, which had recommended religion-based census in the armed forces in 2006. Congress in its manifesto (then Lok Sabha Elections) had also indicated reservation for religious minorities. If they had introduced reservation for religious minorities and given this idea to the armed forces, it would not have been good for the unity and integrity of the country.
The Congress manifesto has indicated reservation for religious minorities in government jobs, which if implemented, can also include the Armed Forces.
This is an idea that affects the unity and integrity of the country. This would be a very scary situation for this country. pic.twitter.com/GJj9ibGjYb

‘Congress exposed because of PM Modi’

He said that the oldest party It is trying to implement ‘religion-based reservation’ which shows the real face of Congress.
Appeasement is in Congress’s DNA- Rajnath
Rajnath alleged that the promises made by Congress in its manifesto are going to divide our society. Sections 3 and 6 under the minority chapter in their manifesto reveal their real intentions. This is a party which has divided the country on religious lines and has done appeasement, this is in its DNA.
