Apologise for 'abusing' PM, his mother: Shah

Clashes in Patna over derogatory remarks on Modi

- RAMASHANKAR @ Patna

UNION Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to apologise to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother for using alleged abusive language against them during the Congress' "Voter Adhikar Yatra" in election-bound Bihar.

Addressing a gathering after inaugurating the newly-constructed 'Brahmaputra Wing' of the Raj Bhavan in Guwahati, Shah said Gandhi's politics of hatred would not take public life any higher. "It is a matter of pride that 27 countries honoured Modi Ji by conferring their highest civilian award on him. Modi Ji is respected by the world, but in Indian politics, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi demonstrated the lowest level of his politics of hatred and negativity during his Ghuspaithiya Bachao Yatra," Shah said.
