Bhima Koregaon case was a conspiracy against Narendra Modi: Shahnawaz Husain

National spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Shahnawaz Husain on Saturday said that Bhima Koregaon case was a conspiracy against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"Bhima Koregaon was a conspiracy against the PM Narendra Modi. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is probing the case and those who are responsible will be punished," Shahnawaz said.

He further questioned Maharashtra Chief Minister, saying who is Uddhav Thackeray to speak on this issue.

Speaking on the issue of NCP chief Sharad Pawar's security, he said, "The category of security is fixed according to threat perception and it is not taken away keeping in mind that person is the Opposition leader. Sharad Pawar is a senior leader and Delhi Police takes care of his security in Delhi."

"There is a panel constituted in Central government that decides who should be given of which category of security according to the danger to that person," he added.

Speaking on the restoration of internet services in Jammu and Kashmir he said that the situation is normal and markets are open. People, who used to claim that if Article 370 will be removed there will be riots, are now speechless.

"Ministers are going in the Valley and many schemes are being introduced now by the Central government which were not implemented before," he said.

There is no doubt that people in Jammu and Kashmir believe that Article 370 was a big hurdle in their progress.

"Those hurdles are gone away and development in Kashmir have started quickly," Husain said.

Shahnawaz also slammed Congress MP Husain Dalwai for comparing Prime Minister Narendra Modi to former Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, he said, "Who is Husain Dalwai for talking about our Prime Minister."

"Congress should take action on him but the party itself insults Modi the entire day," he said.

"Congress has not only one Mani Shankar Aiyar, it has many. Husain should look at himself first before talking about Narendra Modi," he added.

Talking about the economy he said that International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Kristalina Georgieva has said correctly that the economy of India has declined temporary but India is hope for the world. If compared to G-20 countries, then India's economy is better than them all.

"Economy has declined in one or two quarters but it will soon be improved. The share market is in good condition. The economy will also be in good condition," he said.

He said that the first budget of the Modi government 2.0 will strengthen the economy.
