MP Congress MLA Objects to PM's Speech

Congress MLA Arif Masood has expressed his disappointment over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day speech. Masood's objection stems from the fact that the PM did not mention Muslim freedom fighters in his speech. The MLA has sent a memorandum to the PM, highlighting the role of people from all communities in the freedom struggle. Masood emphasized that the fight for independence was a collective effort. The MLA's move is seen as an attempt to remind the government of the contributions made by Muslims in the freedom struggle.
