PM Modi should quit public life for indulging in Hindu-Muslim rhetoric: Kharge

Congress president Kharge urges PM Modi to quit public life for spreading Hindu-Muslim hate speeches and fostering division.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi should walk the talk and quit public life for indulging in Hindu-Muslim rhetoric everyday and “fostering hatred” in society, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has said.

In an interview to PTI, Mr. Kharge alleged PM Modi’s intentions are not clean as he is giving daily “hate speeches” with Hindu-Muslim rhetoric during the poll campaign.

Noting that the PM talks about “taking away buffaloes” and “giving 15% budget to Muslims”, Mr. Kharge said, “By saying such things, he is himself creating division in society.”

“On the other hand he claims that he has no right to be in public life if he talks Hindu-Muslim. As you talk such things everyday, you should quit public life,” the Congress president said.

Urging PM Modi to see his own record of speeches on Hindu-Muslim, the Congress president said on this too, “he is speaking a lie”.

“At least, he should stick to what he has said. He does not even accept his mistake and apologise. On one hand he says such things, while on the other hand he says he will not be fit to be in public life if he talks Hindu-Muslim,” he noted.

PM Modi had earlier told a TV channel that he has no right to be in public life if he does Hindu-Muslim.
