Derogatory Remarks Against PM: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, saying he should apologise for the “abuses” hurled at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother during his 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Darbhanga, Bihar. Shah termed Gandhi's Vote Adhikar Yatra in Bihar as “Ghuspetiya Bachao Yatra (Save Infiltrators Yatra)”, saying his politics has touched the “lowest level” with the yatra.

“Rahul Gandhi should apologise to the PM, his late mother and the people of the country if he has any shame left. The nation is watching him and his party in disgust,' the Home Minister said. Shah was speaking in Guwahati after inaugurating the newly constructed Brahmaputra wing of the Raj Bhawan.

Congress Under Attack After Derogatory Remarks On PM, His Mother

Gandhi and his party drew severe reactions from the Bharatiya Janata Party after a purported video showed an unidentified person using a Hindi expletive against PM Modi from a dais raised during the yatra in Darbhanga town. The incident happened at the same event from where Gandhi, party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and RJD's Tejashwi Yadav had left for Muzaffarpur on motorcycles.

Shah said the Ghuspetiya Bachao Yatra is to protect Congress' vote bank, but in any democracy, election is its soul. How can a nation be safe if infiltrators are allowed to pollute the system by enrolling their names in the voters' list?' he asked.

“The Congress' politics is negative... Its leaders have indulged in many hateful acts in the past, but the party crossed all limits with the abuse of the PM and his late mother from the platform of its yatra in Bihar, where Rahul Gandhi was welcomed,' the senior BJ leader said.
