Union Home Minister Amit Shah has criticised Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for his recent remark on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, describing it as "distasteful and disgraceful". In a recent speech, Kharge said he would stay alive till PM Modi is removed from power. In a post on X (formally Twitter), Amit Shah said Kharge's comments show the "hate and fear" the Congress has for the Prime Minister.

"Yesterday, the Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge Ji has outperformed himself, his leaders and his party in being absolutely distasteful and disgraceful in his speech. In a bitter display of spite, he unnecessarily dragged PM Modi into his personal health matters by saying that he would die only after removing PM Modi from power," he said.

"It just shows how much hate and fear these Congress people have of PM Modi, that they are thinking of him constantly. As for the health of Mr. Kharge Ji, Modi Ji prays, I pray and we all pray that he lives a long, healthy life. May he continue to live for many years and may he live to see the creation of a Viksit Bharat by 2047," the Home Minister added in his post.

Mallikarjun Kharge fell ill while addressing a gathering in the Jasrota area of Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district. The Congress president resumed his speech later. "I am 83 years old. I am not going to die so early. I will stay alive till (Prime Minister) Modi is removed from power. I will listen to you. I will fight for you. I wanted to talk. But due to dizziness, I have sat down. Please pardon me," he said.

In a post on X, Kharge's son and Karnataka minister Priyank Kharge said he is doing well. "Congress President Sri @kharge felt slightly unwell while addressing a public meeting in Jasrota, Jammu & Kashmir. He has been checked upon by his medical team and apart from slightly low blood pressure, he is doing well. Extremely grateful for everyone's concern. His resolve, along with people's good wishes, keeps him going strong," Priyank Kharge posted.

PM Modi later spoke to Kharge over the phone and inquired about his health.

According to Congress general secretary Gulam Ahmed Mir, Kharge felt uneasy and dizzy during his speech. His colleagues quickly assisted him, allowing him to sit down and rest for a moment.
