‘Hua Toh Hua’ statement by senior Congress leader riots has yet again shown the anti-Sikh face of the Congress as well as their indifference towards the historical wrongs committed against the Sikh community: PM Modi
Mere lip service of condemnation to the anti-Sikh statements of Congress leaders by the Congress ‘Namdar’ does not heal the victims’ wounds: PM Modi
The entire Congress party including its President must be ashamed of their actions in 1984 and must answer the Sikh community for their reckless statements: Prime Minister Modi  

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed another large rally in Bathinda in Punjab this evening in which he slammed the Congress party for the anti-Sikh riots in 1984 as well as for failing to provide justice to the victims despite being in power for decades.


PM Modi fiercely criticized the Congress for its direct involvement in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots which led to the gruesome killings of thousands of Sikhs across north India. He said that the recent statement by a senior Congress leader trying to justify those infamous riots has yet again shown the anti-Sikh face of the Congress as well as their leaders’ indifference and arrogance towards the historical wrongs committed by them against the Sikh community.

Terming today’s statement by the Congress President condemning the ‘Hua Toh Hua’ statement by his colleague as a ‘lip service,’ PM Modi said, “Mere lip service of condemnation to the anti-Sikh statements of Congress leaders by the Congress ‘Namdar’ makes no difference to the victims and their families who have suffered for more than three decades now and are still waiting for justice to be served to them. The entire Congress party including its President must be ashamed of their actions in 1984 and must answer the Sikh community for their reckless statements.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the 53rd meeting of PRAGATI, the ICT-enabled, multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, at Seva Teerth earlier today.

During the meeting, Prime Minister reviewed six key infrastructure projects across the Railway, Road and Power sectors, spanning nine States with a cumulative cost of more than ₹30,000 crore. The projects, significant for strengthening connectivity, supporting industrial and economic activity and improving public services, were reviewed with particular emphasis on adherence to timelines, inter-agency coordination, resolution of pending issues and expeditious completion.

Prime Minister emphasised that delays in infrastructure projects have consequences beyond cost escalation, as they also postpone the benefits intended for citizens, businesses and the economy. He said that infrastructure projects should be viewed and monitored as an integrated whole, rather than as isolated sections, stretches or packages. He noted that progress in individual packages should ultimately translate into timely completion and operationalisation of the entire project. Ministries and States were therefore asked to adopt an end-to-end approach, and address critical gaps that could delay the overall commissioning and delivery of benefits. He called for fostering a proactive work culture across Ministries and State Governments, with greater ownership at every level of project implementation.

Prime Minister stressed the need to explore common utility corridors for infrastructure services, wherever feasible, particularly while planning major transport and infrastructure projects. He called upon Ministries and States to examine such integrated approaches at the planning stage itself, keeping in view their technical and economic feasibility.

Prime Minister said that speed of execution must be accompanied by uncompromising quality. He called upon Ministries, States and implementing agencies to adopt modern technologies and strengthen quality assurance and supervision at every stage.

While reviewing AgriStack under the Digital Agriculture Mission, Prime Minister emphasised the need to leverage the latest digital technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, to derive greater value from agricultural data. He stressed that the data ecosystem should be effectively utilised across the agricultural value chain, from input planning to processing, enabling more informed interventions, better targeting and data-driven decision-making. He appreciated the efforts of the States and the Central Government in building the AgriStack ecosystem and called for further strengthening its use for delivering better outcomes for farmers.

During the review of cyber fraud cases, including incidents of digital arrest, Prime Minister said that prevention must be strengthened through a sustained focus on training, awareness and education. He stressed the need for continuous and targeted public-awareness campaigns, particularly for senior citizens, youth and other vulnerable sections, to familiarise them with common fraud techniques, warning signs and safe digital practices. He also called for regular capacity-building of personnel involved so that emerging modes of cyber fraud are identified and acted upon swiftly.
