Don't call Modi 'NaMo', I take offence as a Hindu: Digvijay Singh
"Why do you call him 'NaMo'?", Singh asked the youngster as soon as he uttered the word to ask his question. "Don't call him NaMo. I take offence as a Hindu. NaMo means Naman Karna (to offer prayer to the God). Call him Modi," Singh said.
Singh said he doesn't even like the name RaGa but he finds NaMo more offensive
When programme anchor Rahul Kanwal countered Singh with the name RaGa (popular name of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi), Singh said he doesn't favour the word 'RaGa' either. "But RaGa is not a word related to my religion, NaMo is. So I object to that," the veteran leader said.
The youngster apologised to Singh and asked him to calm down.
Singh was seen smiling after the apology was tendered.
Even a name polarises India's polity in the hot season of election, isn't it?
