Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed an event at inauguration of new terminal building of veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair. PM Modi said, “The Opposition maintains a dignified silence, no matter the magnitude of the various scams and crimes”. He further added that on any such occasions, the Opposition starts supporting each other rather than resolving the issue at hand. The violence-ridden Panchayat elections of West Bengal, the violence and exploitation of women in Rajasthan, the liquor scam worth crores of Rupees are examples of the opposition-led behavior, the PM added saying, "When agencies start questioning the intent of these crimes and scams they all cry foul-play and conspiracy against them, showcasing their corrupt nature."
