Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s description of the Indian Army as “Modi ji ki sena” (Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Army) during an election rally has earned the wrath of Opposition leaders who called it an insult to the armed forces. The Congress people use ‘ji’ in Masood Azhar’s name to encourage terrorism.”“What was namumkin (impossible) for the Congress is mumkin (possible) for PM Modi. Taking to Twitter, Congress leader Priyanka Chaturvedi said, “Ab Indian Army ka naamkaran karke Modi ki Sena rakh diya CM Adityanath ne (CM Yogi has renamed the Indian Army as Modi’s Army). Adityanath must apologise.”West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also joined the chorus and termed the remark as “shocking” “It is shocking to hear the UP CM saying that the Indian Army is the ‘Modi Sena’. Such blatant personalisation and usurping of our beloved Indian Army is an insult and a humiliation,” the Trinamool Congress chief said.
