KURUKSHETRA/CHARKHI DADRI: PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday appealed to voters of Haryana to "punish" Congress in the assembly elections for "spreading rumours" about Kashmir after the nullification of Article 370 .

Addressing rallies in Kurukshetra and Charkhi Dadri, Modi said the defanging of Article 370 was required in the interest of national security and added that the supremacy of the Constitution was paramount to the country.

He also asserted that his government will stop water flowing to Pakistan and divert it to Haryana as it rightfully belongs to the country and the farmers of the state.

"For 70 years, water that belonged to Haryana's farmers and to us flowed to Pakistan... But this Modi will stop that water and bring it to your house. I have already started working on it. The water belongs to India and farmers of Haryana...That is why Modi is fighting this for you," he said at a public gathering here amid loud cheers.
