“Be careful, Pakistan has a nuclear bomb. Ye maare pade log, desh ke man ko bhi maar rahe rahe hai (They are trying to scare us by saying that Pakistan has a nuclear bomb),'' PM Modi said, taking a sharp dig at Aiyar and Congress.

Addressing a massive public rally in Kandhamal, Odisha, the Prime Minister criticized Pakistan over its falling economy and said that they want to sell their nuclear bomb but due to its poor quality they do not find any buyer.

PM Modi also attacked Congress for its weak and cowardly response after the 26/1 terror attacks in Mumbai. He said the then UPA regime decided not to retaliate and not take action against the terror masters because they believed it would alienate their vote bank.

"Instead of cracking down on terrorist criminals, they decided to hold a meeting with their handlers," PM Modi said.

He also said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have been struggling for justice for decades as the previous ruling powers in Delhi used to negotiate with the separatists. He blamed the 'weak mentality' of the Congress for the suffering of the people of the valley.

Notably, Mani Shankar Aiyar had said in an interview with a YouTube channel that Pakistan has nuclear bombs and hence India should respect them instead of showing its military power.
