Lok Sabha polls: Opposition ups ante over PM Modi’s Rajasthan rally remarks

Hindustan Times  

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s allegation that his predecessor Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had advocated that Muslims have first right to country’s resources has raised a political storm in the middle of the election campaign. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge described Modi’s comments as “hate speech” and said that he had “lowered the dignity of political discourse”. The Congress complaint highlighted one part of Modi’s speech in which he said: “When they were in power earlier, they said that Muslims have the first right to the country’s resources. In the history of India, no Prime Minister has lowered the dignity of his post as much as Modiji has.” The ECI, however, declined comment on Modi’s speech, which the Congress said violates several sections of the Indian Penal Code and also the Model Code of Conduct, and has prompted a flurry of complaints to the poll panel.
