Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday condemned Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge for his language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi as "distasteful and disgraceful".
Sharing this on social media platform X, HM Shah said, "Yesterday, the Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge Ji has outperformed himself, his leaders and his party in being absolutely distasteful and disgraceful in his speech."
"It's a sour bit of spite that he unnecessarily dragged PM Modi into his personal health matters by saying he would die only after removing PM Modi from power. It just shows how much hate and fear these Congress people have of PM Modi, that they are thinking of him constantly," said HM Shah.
HM Shah further said, "Well, to the health of Kharge, PM Modi 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."
The Congress President collapsed to his knees while addressing a rally in a poll in Kathua district of J&K early on Sunday. He regained his strength and said he would not die before seeing PM Modi being sent to powerlessness.
We will fight for restoring statehood. I am 83 years old. I am not going to die this early. I will stay alive till Prime Minister Narendra Modi is removed from power. I wanted to speak. But due to dizziness, I have sat down. Please pardon me," Kharge remarked as he resumed speaking again.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday spoke to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and inquired about his health after he fell ill during campaigning.
"PM Modi spoke to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge Ji and enquired about his health," said the Prime Minister's Office.
