The main slogan of the Congress party, "ab hoga NYAY", is an admission of the fact that the grand old party has not done justice to India despite being in the power for the past 60 years, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an interview to News18.

"When they talk about nyay, what about justice for the victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots? What about nyay for the victims of triple talaq? What about the farmers of Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh who were promised loan waivers? You promised them justice in just 10 days. It has been 100 days now. When will they get justice?" said Modi.

Congress had also helped the perpetrators of Bhopal gas tragedy to flee the country, claimed Modi. He also blamed the Congress party for a false case against scientist Nambi Narayanan. "The great scientist Nambi Narayanan was framed in a false case and put in jail. It dealt a blow to India's space program. Nambi Narayanan is asking for justice."

Congress should give justice to people named in Samjhauta Express blast case, said Modi, adding that the party coined the term 'Hindu terror' to link Hindus to terrorism. "This nation's Hindus are asking for justice."

"You jailed innocent people in connection with the Samjhauta Express blast. They were in jail for so many years in a false case. They are asking for justice," said Modi.
