Nothing wrong in describing Modi as merchant of death: Digvijay

Indore, Dec 21 (UNI) Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh today said there is nothing wrong in describing Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as ''merchant of death''.

''Senior BJP leader L K Advani has stated that Mr Modi could be termed as 'Hitler' but not 'merchant of death','' Mr Singh said, and asked whether Hitler was not a 'merchant of death'.

He told reporters that not just public, the BJP, the RSS and the VHP were fed up with Mr Modi. The Gujarat Chief Minister had insulted senior leaders like Mr Advani and Mr Arun Jaitely, he claimed.

Referring to his Hindu terrorism-related statement, he said the Congress was against Hindu and Muslim fundamentalism. Ninety-nine per cent members of both communities want to live in peace but the rest wanted riots.

He claimed that the Congress would make government in Gujarat by bagging at least 94 seats.
