New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers staged a massive protest in Delhi against controversial remarks made by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The protests erupted after the BJP condemned Kharge’s comments as highly inappropriate and offensive.
BJP workers took to the streets of the national capital to express their anger over Kharge’s remarks. Senior party leaders and workers, including members of the Delhi BJP leadership, gathered near the Sena Bhavan roundabout and Rajaji Marg to stage a demonstration.
As the protest intensified, Delhi Police intervened to maintain law and order and began detaining several protesting leaders.
Among those detained were Delhi BJP President Harsh Malhotra, Vice President Rajesh Bhatia, and State General Secretary Mohan Lal Gihara. The detained leaders were subsequently taken to the Mandir Marg police station.
The controversy originated in Patna, Bihar, during an event commemorating the birth anniversary of the state’s first Chief Minister, Shri Krishna Singh.
During the event, an individual reportedly told Kharge that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not going anywhere. In response, Kharge allegedly remarked, “Modi’s father will also go away.”
The BJP accused the Congress president of insulting Prime Minister Modi’s late father and strongly condemned the statement, asserting that such remarks were unacceptable.
Following Kharge’s controversial remarks, the BJP announced plans to organize protests across the country.
The party reportedly instructed its state units to hold peaceful demonstrations outside their respective state offices to register their opposition to the Congress president’s statement.
BJP leaders maintained that while political disagreements are a natural part of democracy, the use of derogatory or disrespectful language in public discourse is unacceptable under any circumstances.
The controversy has further intensified political tensions between the BJP and Congress, with the ruling party demanding accountability for the remarks.
