New Delhi [India], August 29 (ANI): Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday criticised the Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), after an alleged video showed a person hurling abuses at Prime Minister Modi and his late mother during an INDIA bloc rally in Darbhanga, Bihar.
CM Gupta stated that such remarks reflect poor “upbringing” and a lack of respect for “Mother Earth, Mother India, or the word mother.”
Speaking to media persons, CM Gupta said, “This behaviour of the opposition leaders is very shameful. Insulting any of our mothers on the land of Sita Ma is not tolerable. The people of the country reject such cheap thinking and cheap politics of speaking ill of the mother of the Prime Minister of the country.”
“As a woman, I honestly say that only those people can insult a mother who neither know the respect of Mother Earth, Mother India, nor the word mother… Were such people brought up in the country or somewhere else? This is a question mark on their upbringing,” Delhi CM added.
Earlier today, the man accused of hurling abuses at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother during a political rally in Bihar was arrested, Darbhanga Senior Superintendent of Police told ANI.
This comes after an alleged video on the internet showed the accused hurling abusive slurs against PM Modi during an INDIA bloc event.
This sparked a political row in the poll-bound state of Bihar.
On Thursday, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma slammed the Congress and the Rashtriya Janata Dal for “crossing all limits of shamelessness” on the purported viral video.
“Congress-RJD in Bihar have crossed all limits of shamelessness. The indecent remarks made by Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav on the late revered mother of PM Modi, from the stage, are highly condemnable. The country will never forgive Congress-RJD for this act,” the Rajasthan CM said.
Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant also took on the INDIA bloc parties over alleged derogatory remarks during their ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Darbhanga, and termed them an insult to the country’s women.
“I condemn the words used by someone against the late mother of PM Modi, from the stage of Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav of the INDI bloc. This shows the ideology of the INDI bloc, which never existed in Indian democracy, and it is an insult to all the women of the country. The country will not tolerate this,” Sawant told ANI.
“The ideology of the parties of Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav can insult women…. I show support to PM Narendra Modi on behalf of Goa and the entire country. This will not be forgiven even after a thousand apologies… Such a low level of people and words are brought into the politics because they (Congress and RJD) don’t have any issues to raise… Such people do not deserve to stay in politics. I once again condemn this on behalf of the people of Goa,” he added.
Meanwhile, BJP leader Krishna Singh Kallu has filed a complaint against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, calling for putting a stop to the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in the poll-bound state.
In turn, the Opposition party has hit back, saying that the BJP is “raising ‘irrelevant’ issues to distract from the real ones. (ANI)
