NEW DELHI: PM Modi asked BJP leaders not to “fall in the trap” of some political parties which have an “ecosystem” to divert the country’s attention from main matters. “For own benefit, these political parties try to poison the society on issues... they try to instigate in the name of caste and religion. We should never fall in the trap of such parties,” he said in a virtual address at the BJP national officer-bearers’ meeting in Jaipur.
PM Modi also used the occasion to speak indirectly about the recent controversies over language issues, saying, “Prioritising local languages in the new National Education Policy reflects our commitment to each regional language. BJP considers Indian languages to be the soul of Indianness and a link to a better future for the nation.”
