Amit Shah, the union home minister, attacked Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday for his “distasteful and disgraceful” remarks made in Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir. The Congress leader was taken ill, but he resumed his speech after a pause, declaring that he would not pass away before Prime Minister Narendra Modi is removed from office.
“Yesterday [Sunday], the Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge Ji has outperformed himself, his leaders and his party in being absolutely distasteful and disgraceful in his speech. In a bitter display of spite, he unnecessarily dragged PM Modi into his personal health matters by saying that he would die only after removing PM Modi from power,” Amit Shah posted on X.
Amit Shah claimed that the fact that Congress is continuously thinking about Modi merely goes to prove how much they despise and fear him. As for the health of Mr Kharge Ji, Modi Ji prays, I pray and we all pray that he lives a long, healthy life. May he continue to live for many years and may he live to see the creation of a Viksit Bharat by 2047,” he added.
Following Kharge’s illness in Kathua on Sunday, Modi contacted with the Congress leader to find out how he was doing. After receiving medical care, Kharge declared that he was “not going to die” until Modi was overthrown.
