Raising questions over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meditation at Rock Memorial from May 30 to June 1, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Wednesday said it is good if he is going to Kanyakumari for “prayashchit” (atonement). The person who does not understand the meaning of ‘vivek’ (wisdom), what ‘dhyan’ (meditation) he will do.“If he is going for ‘prayashchit’, then it is a good thing or if he is going to take inspiration from writings and speeches of Swami Vivekanand, even then it is good,” said Sibal. The prime minister will meditate from the evening of May 30 to the evening of June 1 at Dhyan Mandapam, the place where Vivekananda a spiritual icon admired by PM Modi is believed to have had a divine vision about Bharat Mata’, BJP leaders said on Tuesday.
Sibal alleged the BJP-led government at the Centre does not talk about its achievements because it has “nothing to show”. “What have they done for the last 10 years? Has the prime minister said during his speeches what he did during 10 years? What are their achievements,” Sibal said in a press conference here.
Sibal also slammed PM Modi for his ‘mujra’ remark against opposition leaders saying had there been any achievement to show, he would not have been talking about “mujra, mangalsutra…vote jihad”. Sibal alleged the BJP “failed” to deliver on the promises on which it rode to power.
