Mangaluru, Mar 4: Former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda on Sunday lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying he has lost credibility.

Gowda told reporters that none of the promises that Modi had made has been fulfilled. He also lambasted BJP for politicising the recent airstrike against terrorists.

“Wherever Modi goes, he speaks about strongest nation. He wants to say that he is the strongest leader. He speaks about clean politics, corruption-free nation and Congress-free India. Didn’t Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh give stable governments? People will not trust a leader who repeats the same thing. He speaks about patriotism. All of us are patriotic and we stand united when it comes to our nation's security. Modi always pats his own back. Didn’t we win Kargil war when Vajpayee was the Prime Minister? Didn’t India hold nuclear test in Pokhran? Now, not only India, but also the entire world has decided to fight terrorism. Issues of national security should not be politicised. We need not learn patriotism from Modi,” Gowda said.

Further, he accused Modi for the unrest in Kashmir. “I visited Kashmir five times when I was Prime Minister and the elections then wewre successfully conducted. Modi visited Kashmir during Deepavali, but what happened after that? Different parties ruled Kashmir. People have seen fights on streets and clamping of Section 144 in the past three years. Recently, 44 brave Indian soldiers were martyred. There is a need for a non-NDA alliance in the nation in these circumstances,” Gowda said.

They called demonetization a ‘dream of Modi’, but what happened to that? Could they bring black money back, Gowda asked.

Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook flooded with appreciation after the University announced on Twitter that the professor, who had posted objectionable messsages, had been fired. The university, however, did not disclose the name of the professor.

After the university’s announcement, many on Twitter posted screenshots of the communal tweets claiming that the professor is Neeraj Bedi and made it clear that the dismissed professor is an Indian.

Bedi has been working as full time Professor in Faculty of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in Jazan University for years.
