Lok Sabha Session: During the discussion on the no-confidence motion against the Modi government in the Lok Sabha during the monsoon session of the Parliament, on Wednesday, many leaders spoke with full force. From Congress President Rahul Gandhi to Union Minister Smriti Irani, everyone made headlines with their statements. Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah also took a dig at the central government during the discussion on the no-confidence motion, but during this he spoke something that got the most discussion in the political circles.

'We are proud to be citizens of India'

Attacking the central government, Farooq Abdullah said that its way of working is putting the country in danger and the government will have to leave hatred and talk about love. Participating in the discussion on the opposition's no-confidence motion against the government in the Lok Sabha, Abdullah said, "Don't call us Pakistanis." How long will you doubt that we are Pakistanis? We stand with the country and will continue to stand. Hug us We have also taken bullets so that India remains alive. We are proud to be citizens of India.

'How many Kashmiri Pandits have returned?'

Farooq Abdullah also talked about Kashmiri Pandits in the discussion. Describing the violence against Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley as a dark chapter in the country's history, he asked whether the government would tell how many Kashmiri Pandits it had brought back in the last 10 years. Objecting to this, Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai said that it is wrong to say that this government did nothing for the return of Kashmiri Pandits. He said that the opposition members are misleading. Abdullah said that the Prime Minister of this country does not represent only one class, he represents all the countrymen.

'If you have guts then fight'

Former Union Minister Abdullah said, 'The way the government is putting this country in danger. Don't hate us There was a lot of hatred. Now talk about love. Talk about love in Manipur as well. In an indirect reference to Pakistan, he said that former Prime Minister and BJP leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee had said that if we remain friends with our neighbour, both will progress. Abdullah said amidst the chatter of some members of the ruling party, 'Your leader had said this. You believe it or not. If you have guts then fight. We are not stopping. We never stop.'
