Kharge’s ‘Father Will Also Go’ Remark Sparks Row, BJP To Hold Protests Across India Today

New Delhi: The political controversy has deepened over Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's statement regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's father. In this case, a complaint has been lodged against Kharge in Patna. At the same time, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced it will hold demonstrations across the country on Monday. On the other hand, many Congress leaders are defending Kharge's statement and accusing BJP of making a political issue. This controversy has further intensified the war of words between Congress and BJP.

Why was there controversy over Kharge's statement?

BJP State Working Committee member Krishna Singh Kallu has lodged a written complaint at the Kotwali police station in Patna. The complaint alleges that the Congress President used objectionable language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his father during a public event.

According to the report, Kharge was on Bihar tour. Meanwhile, while speaking at a program on the issue of Special Intensive Revision of Voter List i.e. SIR, he reportedly said that those who make irregularities in it will be sent to jail. In response to this, one person said, 'Modi will not go.' A controversy arose over Kharge's comment on this.

However, the full context of the statement and the allegations made in the complaint remain to be independently verified.

What has BJP announced?

BJP has opened a front against the Congress President by linking this matter to the honor of the Prime Minister and his family. The party has announced demonstrations at its state headquarters across the country on Monday. Apart from this, it was also announced to burn the effigy of Kharge in the Income Tax Circle in Patna on the morning of 26 October.

BJP says that leaders holding responsible positions in public life should control their language. The party is calling this comment derogatory towards the Prime Minister.

What did Congress say while defending Kharge?

Congress MP Pawan Khera hit back at BJP and said that RSS and BJP leaders had misbehaved with Kharge in the past also. Referring to an old incident that took place in Uttarakhand, he accused BJP of adopting double standards.

At the same time, Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel defended Kharge and said that it is not appropriate to create controversy over such words during the speech. Referring to the old statements of the Prime Minister, he raised the question why BJP does not react in the same way to the comments of its leaders.

Will this statement increase the conflict between Congress and BJP?

A round of allegations and counter-allegations continues between the two parties regarding Kharge's remarks. BJP is preparing to register its opposition through protests, while Congress is accusing it of making it a political issue.

At present, this controversy has become the center of political debate. The reactions of both the parties and further action in this matter will be monitored in the coming days.
