CPM says RSS praise a dishonour to martyrs
TERMING his Independence Day address "stale, hypocritical, and troubling", the Congress on Friday lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for praising the RSS in the speech, alleging that the ruling BJP is ready to go to any extent of "immorality" to remain in power, and that several "irregularities" in elections are emerging across the country.
After hoisting the national flag at the Congress headquarters, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said that opposition's votes are being openly cut in the name of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar electoral rolls, even as those alive are being declared dead.
