Truth about the viral claims: Narendra Modi pledges to kill Canadians and foreigners during election speech?
The truth is that these assertions are fake and unfounded. Only Pakistan and Pakistan-sponsored terrorism were discussed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In all of his speeches during the election campaign, he never once mentioned Canada. Investigations are still ongoing because no connection has yet been established in the murder case of Khalistani separatist Nijjar, despite the arrest of three suspects. We visited Economic Times, which published an article on this incident on May 4, 2024 with the headline “‘Aaj ka Bharat ghar me ghus kar marta hai…’: PM Modi at Jharkhand rally”. The video was uploaded with the caption “Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed Pakistan and claimed that the BJP government has always given befitting reply to Pakistan’s terrorism by surgical strikes and air strikes unlike previous Congress government.PM Narendra Modi said, “This is new India and it breaks in and kills. The slap of surgical strike and air strike had shaken the Pakistan. That time has gone when India used to appeal for help against Pakistan, now Pakistan appeals to the whole world and say ‘please save us, save us’.” “. Further, The Economic Times published another article on this incident on April 16, 2024 with the heading ” “Now going around world with begging bowl”: PM Modi invokes Pakistan as he tears into Congress in Bihar’s Purnea”.Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked Pakistan to take a swipe the Congress, claiming that the country has been travelling the world with a ‘begging bowl’ since his government was elected in 2014. He cited Pakistan’s tremendous economic misery as a cause for this, claiming that the BJP-led NDA has completed projects that were previously believed ‘impossible’. Pakistan has been dealing with a crippled economy, with rising inflation and flood-related damage disproportionately affecting poorer people, resulting in greater inequality.
