BJP Demands Action on Kharge's 'Terrorist' Remark

A BJP delegation, including Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, has called for stringent measures against Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge following his controversial 'terrorist' comment about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The delegation approached the Election Commission demanding a comprehensive response to Kharge's statement, made during a press conference in Tamil Nadu.

Sitharaman emphasized the severity of Kharge's language, labeling it an affront to India's electoral system where leaders are democratically chosen. She claimed Kharge's statement signifies underlying frustration and animosity within Congress, particularly amid the assembly elections in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.

Union Parliament Minister Kiren Rijiju, also part of the BJP delegation, urged for stern actions, including a directive for Kharge and Congress to issue a public apology. The Election Commission reportedly assured that 'appropriate action' would be undertaken, highlighting the potential consequences for such remarks in the political arena.
