Mallikarjun Kharge criticizes PM Modi over ‘dimagi naxals’ remark
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi following the Prime Minister’s use of the term ‘dimagi naxals’ during an Independence Day address. Kharge argued that the government should prioritize addressing public concerns such as unemployment, inflation, and investment rather than engaging in political rhetoric.
The dispute has also centered on the singing of Vande Mataram. Kharge defended the Congress party’s practice of singing a two-stanza version of the song, stating it was a decision made in 1937 by national leaders including Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and Subhash Chandra Bose. This response follows accusations from Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who labeled the Congress party’s version of the song as ‘anti-national’ and an attempt at vote-bank appeasement.
