New Delhi:
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, at a press conference on Tuesday, called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “terrorist”. When a reporter asked for context behind the assessment, the Congress chief clarified that what he meant is that “PM Modi is terrorising people and political parties”, adding he never called the Prime Minister a terrorist.
The condemnation from the BJP was swift and sharp, calling the Congress an “Urban Naxal Party”.
Kharge was questioning the AIADMK’s choice of BJP as an alliance partner for the Tamil Nadu polls when he used the word terrorist for the PM.
“How these AIADMK people, who themselves put the photo of Annadurai, how can they join Modi? He is a terrorist. His party won’t believe in equality and justice. These people are joining with them; it means they are weakening democracy, they are weakening the philosophy of Annadurai, Kamaraj, Periyar, Kaliagnar, Baba Saheb Ambedkar,” M Kharge said.
