Talking to the media here on Friday, Irani alleged that the number one target of George Soros was Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adding he wanted to dislodge the Modi government and bring a government into the country that will protect his interests.
He said that George Soros has announced funds to demolish India’s democratic structure and it was known to everyone who he funded and to whom he sent money.
She recalled that George Soros had announced that he would make PM Modi the main point of his attack. “Soros has announced that he will create such a system in India under his foreign power which will protect his interests and not India’s. George Soros has made the announcement that he will make Modi bow down in India, demolish the democratically elected Government of India.”
“He should be given a befitting reply by all the citizens, organisations and political parties of the country as well as every Indian. Let us answer George Soros in unison that under democratic conditions, a democratically elected government and our Prime Minister will not bow down to such evil intentions,” the Minister said.
In response to a question, the Union Minister said, “The conspiracy to damage Modi’s image has been going on for the last several years. But ever since India has become the fifth largest economy in the world, and the US President, the French President and the Prime Minister of England have expressed gratitude to Indians, efforts are being made to destroy India’s democratic structure.” India has defeated foreign powers in the past as well and will defeat them in the future as well, she added.
George Soros, while delivering a speech at the 2023 Munich Security Conference on Thursday, said that PM Modi would be weakened by the business troubles of Gautam Adani.
