New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will stage nationwide protests on Monday against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge over his objectionable remarks concerning Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s late father.
According to a BJP statement, demonstrations will be organised at party headquarters across all states to register the party’s opposition to the comments made by Kharge in Patna.
The BJP described the remarks as “insulting, indecent and offensive”, alleging that they crossed the boundaries of political discourse and amounted to a personal attack on the Prime Minister’s family.
The party has directed its state units to organise peaceful but firm protests, with party leaders and workers expected to participate in large numbers.
BJP leaders have also demanded an unconditional apology from the Congress president, asserting that political differences should not lead to personal insults. They emphasised the need to maintain decency and mutual respect in public life.
The Congress had not issued an immediate clarification on the controversy, according to the report.
