ALAPPUZHA: Defence minister Manohar

Parrikar

said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had compared Kerala’s Attappadi with

Somalia

and his statements regarding Somlia were misinterpreted here.

"He did not compare entire Kerala with Somalia. He compared only Attapadi of Kerala with Somalia based on international study reports. There is nothing wrong in it," he said.

Parrikar was speaking to newsmen as part of election special press meet titled `Janasamaksham’ of Alappuzha Press Club on Friday.

The idiotic sickular media is creating an issue out of nothing. It is Modi government responsible of safe evacuation of Indians mainly keralites from war affected gulf region. Earlier Congress government at center never bothered about Indians stuck abroad and never tried to help them. It is Modi government has got real concern for Indians irrespective of their religions. Hope people of Kerala appreciate this and support BJP for betterment of state.
