Stink Of RSS...: Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge Hits Back At PM Modi Following "Muslim League Imprint" Jibe

In a war of words, Congress chief Mallaikarjun Kharge on Monday gave a scathing reply to Prime Minister Narendra Modi who mocked the grand old party after the release of its manifesto. Earlier, while addressing a public meeting in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur, PM Modi had targetted Congress calling its election promises a "bundle of lies" which has "Muslim League imprints". Responding to the PM's jibe, Mallikarjun Kharge said the BJP is aware that it is going to lose the upcoming elections and its leaders are giving worthless statements out of fear.

Congressmen retaliated stating "Modi-Shah's political and ideological ancestors supported the British and Muslim League against the Indians in the Freedom Struggle."

The row started after PM Modi made a remark on Congress's manifesto on Saturday stating: "Congress issued a bundle of lies in its manifesto... every page reeks of attempts to tear India apart. It reflects the thoughts the Muslim League had before independence."

Following PM's footprints, BJP chief JP Nadda also called the manifesto surprising and similar to Muslim League ideologies.

JP Nadda also alleged that Congress is doing appeasement politics. "Congress has been repeatedly rejected but they are insistent on politics of appeasement. I saw the manifesto and was surprised. Is it their manifesto or that of the Muslim League," the BJP chief added.

"Even today, they are invoking the Muslim League against the 'Congress Nyay Patra' guided and shaped according to the aspirations, needs, and demands of common Indians. Modi-Shah's ideological ancestors opposed Mahatma Gandhi's call for "Quit India" in 1942, which was the movement chaired by Maulana Azad. Everyone knows how Prasad Mukherjee formed his governments in Bengal, Sindh, and NWFP in the 1940s in coalition with the Muslim League," the Congress chief said in a post on X.

He also asked "Did Shyama Prasad Mukherjee not write to the then British Governor about how the Quit India movement of 1942 can be "combated" and how the Congress should be suppressed? And for this, he said that "Indians have to trust the British" ? Modi-Shah and their Nominated President are today spreading falsehood about the Congress Manifesto."
