Kalaburagi, May 6 : Congress leader in Lok Sabha M Mallikarjuna Kharge on Monday strongly criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his remarks on former Prime Minister late Rajiv Gandhi.
“It is a highly condemnable statement by a person of Prime Minister stature, people will not forgive him for making such remarks against a person who sacrificed his life for the country,” he added.
Addressing a press conference here on Monday, Kharge said that the High Court had dismissed Bofors Case 30 years back, but now he is raking up the issue by telling lies in an attempt to woo the voters.
He said that the name Rajiv Gandhi itself inspires youths of the country and comments against him is not acceptable. Modi has no heart at all, he has no patriotism and we are unfortunate that such a people have become Prime Minister of our country.
Hitting out at Modi, he said Rajiv Gandhi laid down his life for the nation and one should be ashamed to utter such words against him. “People will give a befitting reply in the election to a person like Modi,” he added.
Modi yesterday said that Rajiv Gandhi was a corrupt person.
